The Rookie
(2018)

Really strong episode
I Just completed the episode that aired March 22. So glad to see a strong and serious episode without the recent silliness that I found highly disappointing and unfortunately more reflective of Rookie Fed. I was seriously aggravated by the honeymoon episode. The idea was good. How it played out was boring. This show has excellent actors who deserve an excellent script. The storyline was solid, the emotions of the actors, both the officers and the perpetrators, were real and skillfully portrayed. This show was the quality that I expect as a dedicated viewer from season 1, episode 1. Well done. I look forward to the next show.

NCIS: Hawai'i
(2021)

Entertaining show but
I love the show primarily. The characters are strong and role true except 3. Lucy and Kate should be a great storyline but I am sick of their silliness. I thought it would get better, but it's getting worse. Lucy's jealousy of everything is a humiliation to an NCIS agent. Sulking in the last show because the criminal she sought was boring made me want to stick my finger down my throat. And an FBI agent should have some grit about her. Kate is a weak character. This is a drama, not a comedy. Ernie is querky, which is character great. But these two and the new tall guy detracts from the show. Love Boom Boom! Love learning about Hawaiian culture. Jane, Jessie and Kai are strong characters. Glad that Sam is still on board!! More, more, more ofvthe new Marshal!

Cuomo Prime Time
(2017)

Disappointing for a previously admired professional
I have long been a Chris Cuomo fan who was very upset by his ouster from CNN. However, it appears that he has swung too far to the opposite viewpoints on many issues. I am embarrassed to listen to some of his comments; particularly on President Biden. I understand the concern for his age, but he is performing strongly on behalf of the American people. Anyone with a brain understands that Presidents face many circumstances that cannot be known or predicted. If any President of any party could fix everything at once, that would be a miracle from heaven. Yes, my pocket is hurting; and I am luckier than many. But I get the importance of supporting Ukraine as central to world welfare. And I understand that this and the greed of many in the top 5% or perhaps the top 2% impacts the bottom line for all. I also understand that many of us in whatever % bear responsibility to think, act, pay attention and respond in ensuring that we protect democracy, uphold women's rights, oppose hatred and make appropriate personal decisions. Chris used to support these ideals. Now, he seems more interested in showingbthat he does not. Perhaps he should return from dissecting the news to reporting it without his personal views interjected.

Station 19
(2018)

Update: Declining quality
What is the beef with Ruiz? He was a good character. The one who should be getting bad press is Vic for the constantly bad way she treated Ruiz long BEFORE the kiss!

And Warren, taking drugs?! He is injured. Send him back to work at Seattle Grace/ Gray- Sloan! Him going from doctor to firefighter was never a believable move anyway, especially without being able to practice medicine at the scene.

This has historically been a wonderful program. Lately, however, silliness is creeping in on a routine basis. Characters who were evolving with maturity are reverting to irresponsibility no befitting their age, stage or career roles. The show is taking on strong topics, but failing at follow through. Characters are spending time hanging out at the fire station, bar and exercising rather than participating in storyline activity. I am also a huge fan of Chicago Fire; and note this show contemplating copying the Girls on Fire program. Where is the originality? The need can be addressed with a unique method without copying. Ben as a physician is under developed, Karina no longer develops babies because she is never at work, and everyone does more complaining than moving forward.

The Rookie: Feds
(2022)

Silly is Annoying
Love Neicy; but I am very disappointed in her silly and gross presentation. Button up the blouse please. Professional women everywhere are cringing. How long have we fought to stop having men look at our chests and minimize our worth? Glad to have a spin-off and cross-over; but this is an insult to association with The Rookie. The Rookie is a serious drama and The Rookie Feds is a spoof comedy disaster. I hope this will clean up fast. The general idea is welcome. It is very hard to keep watching in its current state. It is an insult to Federal Investigators everywhere. This is a disservice to characters of The Rookie!
