Tune in next week for the big reveal. (Spoiler alert: It seems to be following that trajectory rapidly)
There's nothing logical, reasonable or accurate about this show.
In this ridiculous episode....
Chen's psudo-psychological insights are irritating. No cop I know would listen to that garbage all day at work. - No person at ANY JOB would entertain her condescending, self-absorbed meddling. She's not representative of police. (She eats off Tim's plate ????) Ugh
She's like a pathetic high school dweeb.
If writers don't know that Downtown LA cops DON'T cover Santa Monica beaches, they're idiots. If they do, then they think the viewers are idiots. (Ya'll take your pick)
As for the Italian cop.....
They just took his word that he was a cop without checking his background??? ( Good to know next time someone wants to impersonate a cop!) Besides which, foreign cops don't have a right to carry weapons in the US. - It's not even legal to carry a weapon from another state into California, so pleeeeeaaaasssseee.
This show is no longer about a "Rookie". It's become the same bottom-feeding soap opera plot point and relationship drama that has become a joke to anyone with an education or brain.
Season 1 was great. But it's time to cancel this garbage.
