A quick look at The Rookie plot and cast
The Rookie tells the story of a middle-aged man who, after a series of unexpected events, becomes a policer for the LAPD. The official synopsis of the show, as per Rotten Tomatoes, reads:
''Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan, who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of becoming an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.''
Continuing, the synopsis adds:
''If he can't keep up with the young cops and the criminals, he'll be risking lives -- including his own -- but if he can use his life experience, determination and sense of humor to give him an edge, he may just become successful in this new chapter of his life.''
The series received mostly mixed-to-positive reviews from viewers and critics, who praised the show's entertaining storyline and performances by the cast. A spinoff, titled The Rookie: Feds is set to be released on ABC on September 27, 2022.
The show features a number of prominent actors in key roles, including Nathan Fillion, Melissa O'Neil, Eric Winter, and Annie Wersching, among many others.
