So the actor boyfriend just dissappear, the same way the medic boyfriend disappeared, the same way Nolan's ex/new girlfriend dissappear...

Is it just me or is he slowly becoming her favorite student?

When she said you guys have a lot to make up for, I think that's unfair because, not all police officers are bad. Not all of them are responsible for what happened last year and it makes their job harder.

To me...Nolan is the wisest and one of the most innocent characters in this show. I'm going to be really sad if they kill him off or someone almost kills him.

Hah! Love how all the Castle alumni are returning for The Rookie.

No Nolan you don't have to identify yourself or jump through hoops for every perceived injustice from the beginning of time.

I love all of The Rookie cast. All I wish for in my entire life is to meet them all in person some day

Hey, it's Hailey from Castle. Amazing how The Rookie seems to attract familiar faces from Castle. :)

As an outside country perspective, the people push cops hard, so the cops push back just as hard, then complain when they do. Cops are people too, who serve 'the people'. It should be a balance. Why does he have to tell them he's a cop and work to earn their trust or approval. In class he is there to learn as a student, not serve the rest as a cop.

Can't wait for more Episodes

I hope you ABC dont cancel this, like aways okay?

Best show on tv

Did all the class members have to say what they did for a living? So why should John?

I wish Jackson was still alive 😭

we see a glimpse of castle for once in this scene, n i just miss him more

Hello Hayley!! Nathan Fillion is a really good friend, he makes sure all of his CASTLE colleges will be employed.

this show has jumped the shark hard, with turbo boost, and jetted straight to social justice land.

Wow, Hayley and Castle together again

I don't like the way she generalized the police force., telling Nolan "They had a lot to make up for." Condemn the bad cops all you want, but don't make their sins the sins of every police officer out there who do live up to the what badge is meant to represent.

What’s the song?

As a civilian, just because you’re a cop, it doesn’t mean you need to announce that to every group you join. They’re all there to get a degree in some kinda law. Unless if occupations come up. You don’t need to say anything

I wish it was broadcasted in Poland 😔

Castle cast reunited 😁

i saw this already try to post early

One is not obligated to make up for the actions of others.

Wait a minute, isn't Castle a novel writer and should be able to remember things and write quickly?

I really want to like the Rookie, but I cant with stuff like this. "You guys have a hell of a lot to make up for". Seriously? Every single job has bad apples, but when a baker shoots someone in the face or runs them down no one says "all bakers are bad" cause who cares? Also, the amount of times there is a "bad" cop is like 0.01% of the time. This show is not about cops, its about shitting all over cops.

Why do that have to make Nolan look more young seriously

She played in Castle right?

As much as I love Professor Ryan, I have to politely disagree.

💙💙💙 this show I find the writing is just as good as Castle

I've been on the fence for a while, but this scene decided it. I will no longer be watching this show, which is unfortunate as I am a fan of Nathan Fillion, and liked where I thought this show was going. I'm tired of shows about police that are written by, starring, and with the target audience of, people that hate the police. If you think off duty police aren't in danger of being targeted, and don't have a legitimate reason to keep their profession private, you have not been paying attention. But more importantly, NOBODY is entitled to know anything about anyone. The details of your private life, outside of your class, or your job, or whatever, are just that, private. This is of course excluding people that need things like security clearances, but you get the point. "Hi, my name is Nathan. I'm here to learn, just like you. I like pancakes and long walks on the beach." That's it. Before I trigger anyone, I am acutely aware that there is a huge systemic issue that needs to be addressed. But it can be done without complete bullshit like an ethics teacher telling someone they're responsible for someone else's past, or pretending that the percentage of police officers killed didn't surge nearly 30% last year, and it can certainly be done without creating a one dimensional stereotypical asshole. Seriously, officer jackass had zero depth beyond racist angry coward.

I don't know if it's the bad writing or just the bad acting but Fillion was a better actor on Firefly. The shallow humor in some of the clips I've watched for The Rookie comes off as forced.

I don’t understand at all some of the frustration I see in comments anywhere about this show. The Rookie is one of the few police dramas actually attempting to answer some of these questions with grace and awareness, including awareness of how complicated these answers are for people working in the field. That isn’t about assuming the worst of all cops, but about really thinking about the issues that complicate the work for cops and civilians both. Those questions aren’t going away-communities are still going to need to ask and answer them, because the truth is that when the state gives you the privilege of walking the street with a firearm they paid for, you are called to a higher standard than your neighbours. That doesn’t mean that communities have no responsibility-our responsibility is enshrined in law, and that is part of the reason we have police at all. What’s at stake, though, is whether that breakdown of responsibility from public servants who already are in hostile circumstances regularly runs the risk of making relations between the community more volatile. Even if ‘defunding the police’ wasn’t a popular talking point right now, communities would feel far more in sync with their law enforcement professionals with just a few small considerations: prioritizing deescalation and assuming less hostility from scenes, reevaluating and being transparent about bias, offering more opportunities for public rehabilitation and community redress that work in tandem with patrols rather than trying to race each other. Those are things we can do-and people ask about and discuss doing-right now to strengthen connections and make small justice-related progress. I also find it alarming how many times I’ve seen it framed in comments like one right here several weeks ago that asking some of these questions-as simple as how cops gain trust in microcommunities like the classroom-is the same as arguing in favour of criminals. Are the kids of colour in that classroom criminals, then? Are their concerns less valid as people or characters for some reason? The questions we ask about the justice system are valuable for cops as well, to be sure, but there are in fact another group of people outside of that Venn diagram: ordinary citizens who want to feel safe in their communities in general. That safety is ensured by more things, and more complex things, than simply whether someone would be willing to get in a gunfight on my behalf. What is there to ensure that the gunfight never happens on either side? Or that people’s fears of being considered a criminal for simply being on the other side of the badge won’t be allayed in the field? These questions make the space safer for everyone, cops included, and I’m grateful that more shows are attempting in their own ways to ask them even if they don’t have answers. I think The Rookie is doing one of the best jobs in that regard, too, and while it isn’t the best it can be all the time, I applaud the team for trying while still keeping its humour.

Help

I was all set to get into this show, until I saw this scene. Pushing the "all cops must atone for everything ever" narrative just completely sapped my interest in this show.

What bs. He don’t owe anybody shit.

I’m here

I really didn’t like the students in this episode. Its really none of their business where he works. It was his choice to make and when the guy took the picture I was boiling mad 😡. They just assume all cops are bad and they aren’t. And saying that if they say something like having drugs well he’s going to have to see what it is it’s his job. They were acting like jerks to defund them and that they are racist it’s not all true.

No ethics professor would ever, ever tell a cop they need to make up for the actions of others, please get off the woke train

I loved and binged the first 2 seasons of this show but quit and deleted from my Hulu watch list after this one and the other episodes this season. I'm over the cop bashing, criminals are the real victims narrative. Even polls taken in places like Chicago show an overwhelming majority want more cops but if you want to keep pushing woke children's fantasy narratives that are harmful to society and contrary to most reality and common sense... good luck!

Officer leesie shameless

early

It's hard to trust law enforcement officials.

Why do the two young black men have to be gay??? Bradford and Nolan aren’t gay wassup wit dat???

This show is slowly ruining itself with all of the unnecessary political bs.

This whole thing is biased as hell.

How many pepole forgot Jackson was gay

This episode was so boring

This show is so ridiculous. What about the responsibility of the public? This show is just about cop bashing. This show's rating are low and no wonder.

What do cops have to make up for? what a joke this lady is
