what do y’all think of season 5?
there have been some great moments, but imo, it’s been the weakest season overall. there are still three more episodes, and maybe we’ll have a really great season finale, but in comparison to the other seasons, something is missing?? idk am i the only one? genuinely curious about what other ppl think and how yall would rank the seasons
I think my personal ranking would be:
1. season 2 - strong season narrative w/ armstrong, day of death ep, intro of Nyla + settling in of rookies with their TOs which leads to some GREAT interactions esp with chenford, lots of memorable emotional and comedic moments
2. season 1 - a really good intro to the show but you can tell they were trying to figure some things out (the ill-fated nolan/lucy relationship). rookie nolan is also the best iteration of the character cause his storylines have been stale since he graduated
3. season 4 - eh middle of the pack, it does have some great rewatchable moments and i like aaron
4. season 3 - being a COVID production didn’t do it favors. i do like the intro to UC Lucy, la fiera, the true crime cult ep, and tim as man of honor, but the season kinda feels like a filler otherwise
5. season 5 - i don’t find any particular episodes very memorable. it feels like there’s been a writing or tonal shift?? i think the rookie has always done a good job of balancing comedy/serious, but this season has been a little silly tbh and it doesnt feel like there’s an overall storyline cause we’re not spending time with characters cause theres sooo much going on
