We don’t seem to have a thread. I really enjoy this show. Was not what I was expecting, with Fillion I though it would be a comedy but it’s actually just a drama.

Just found season 3 has been running since January

So with BLM I would of course expect it to affect cop shows like the rookie and even Brooklyn nine nine. That said I feel like the show is handling it incredibly poorly. No subtlety. I feel like episodes are hitting me with a sledgehammmer. It’s actually so rough at points it takes me right out of the show.

There is even an episode where Fillions character is told to be careful and that just doing a simple kind act might make him feel good but won’t really help the community. I feel that’s a wired point for a tv show to make.

I agree that they are hitting us over the head with the bad cop thing. I also agree that the whole "you're a jerk because you are genuinely just trying to do something nice but you are doing it wrong" thing was a bit much. I really do like this show and I love all the characters and I agree that I pictured it to be kind of a silly comedy but it is way better then I expected.

My goodness. Looking at reviews of this season has been interesting.I’ve never wanted a show I like to just be canceled so much before till now.


Oof, 23% on RT with some scathing audience reviews.

Consider me actually very surprised. S4 is a go.
