Like many others I started watching this for Nathan Fillion, he always plays likable characters and the first couple seasons of this were just that.

Now, though, they have (and nobody should be surprised) made this into a platform for political correctness and virtue signaling.

The first two seasons were actually pretty fun to watch, come season 3 and every episode has huge political statements to make, even making a professor who believes cops are bad and corrupt and racist a main cast member. Black inequality righted? Check. Gay inequality righted? Check. Cops are bad and racist? Check. Cops should be defunded? Check. Who needs a good story when we can just do that instead?

Season 3 has been all about being PC about everything, being a social justice warrior about everything and, overall isn't the interesting story line we got in the first two seasons about a middle aged man who becomes a cop and the challenges he has to overcome.

So what happens in season 4 when "The Rookie" is no longer a rookie? Will there be a new batch of Rookies that our main character gets to impart his wisdom upon? Probably, and we'll get more political correctness and virtue signaling shoved down our throats since it will be made in 2021.

@tvwatcherdenver This was beyond hilarious, it's not only that the show became a vehicle for political messaging at the expense of the depth and development of the story and characters, but also because it doesn't make any sense in the context of the story those characters inhabit. <br /> <br /> In the first episode of the third season Nathan's character was set up, evidence was planted in his home, so he was arrested. He asked for a lawyer and in the meeting with the lawyer, first thing the lawyer does is lecture Nathan about how lucky he is because he's white, because if he was black and was suspected of a crime he would have been shot on sight. And no one would ever believe a black guy if he was saying he's innocent. (Even though he's a cop and the people who came to arrest him are his friends). <br /> <br /> That's bad enough, but what's even worse is that the guy who framed Nathan's charecter is actually black, and when Nathan accuses the black guy of framing him and being the actual criminal, no one believes him. Both of those things happen in the same episode. Not only in the same episode but in the same plot thread.

@curtwagner1984 just like in real life, these things are complicated and actually do happen... in society it is common to have both racisme and the opposite exist within the same space...
