I don't understand all the hate. If I want a procedural we've got "FBI" and its variations, the whole "Law and Order" world and Dateline and 20/20 if we want real cases.
"The Rookie" has a great blend of action and humor. This is in that line and it's fun.
No one is ever going to ask Niecy to play Ophelia, but she has some chops. (Look at "Claws" for proof.) I find the whole "League of Extraordinary Guidance Counselors" both hilarious and a great idea. Using all of a characters back story experience is what makes "The Rookie" such fun to watch. A good guidance counselor knows so much about kids, I'm surprised they aren't a source more often.
It's a fun show in the best tradition of cop shows that have a good time while still dealing with tough situations.
I do think the cleavage could be minimized, not for the whole appropriateness issue. Girlfriend needs a good supportive sports bra if she's going to be running after crooks. Watching her run makes my chest hurt.
