The ongoing season 5 of The Rookie has been a mixed bag of emotions. Several fans have noticed that the showrunners are trying something different this season with many experimental episodes.

The Rookie has seen a couple of episodes shot in a mockumentary style. While some fans are invested in this new approach, many are not very happy with the change. Even the latest episode 18, titled Double Trouble, used this particular style. The overall episode was compelling and fun, but it left fans worried about one beloved character.

Viewers are concerned about whether Tim died in the latest episode or not. Tim is a strict, no-nonsense training officer. One fan was shocked by the events of the episode and wished for Tim's safety.


Fans of The Rookie wonder if Tim died or Dim

The Rookie previously introduced two characters called Dim and Juicy who were doppelgangers of Tim and Lucy, respectively. The characters were well-received and their adventures proved to be highly entertaining for the show's fans. The doppelgangers were experts in ripping off the wealthy.

Jake and Sava were well aware of their antics and hence a mocumentary style episode made perfect sense. Unfortunately, Dim was killed in this episode. However, since Dim and Tim looked exactly the same, fans are worried that it was Tim who died and took to social media to express their emotions.

Dim's death was unexpected but fans are hoping that it was really Dim who died and not Tim. The latter is loved for his no-nonsense approach to his job. His death would be a monumental moment in the show.

Tim is a much-loved on-screen character and is particularly popular among the ladies. In fact, Tim and Lucy are the most popular couple on the show. Although their doppelgangers, Dim and Juicy, have also been well received, they are nowhere close to the originals.

The official synopsis of the show reads:

"John Nolan, the oldest rookie in the LAPD, has used his life experience, determination and sense of humor to keep up with rookies 20 years his junior. Nearing the end of his training, Nolan now faces his biggest challenge as a police officer when he must come to terms with the choices he has made in pursuit of the truth."

Fans now await the release of The Rookie season 5 episode 19, which is set to air on March 28 at 8 pm ET. The show stars Nathan Fillion, Afton Williamson, Eric Winter, Melissa O'Neil, Richard T. Jones, and more.
