THE ROOKIE — Starting over isn’t easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being 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. 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 a success in this new chapter of his life. The series stars Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey, Titus Makin as Jackson West, Mercedes Mason as Captain Zoe Andersen, Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen, Afton Williamson as Talia Bishop and Eric Winter as Tim Bradford. Alexi Hawley is writer and executive producer; Mark Gordon, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman and Jon Steinberg are executive producers on the series. Liz Friedlander directed and executive produced the first episode. Entertainment One (eOne) is the lead studio on “The Rookie,” a co-production with ABC Studios.

He didn't crack one joke in that trailer. I'm not sure I can handle a serious Nathan Fillion.

I'll give it a chance though.

I just started it last month. Wasn't impressed at first, which is normal for me with everything, but I was happy to watch something without a bunch of fowl language and filth.

It was okay until midway through the 3rd season, then it actually got pretty good. I'm on S4E2 now and thoroughly enjoying it. I really like several of the characters.

Same as @Behr on starting it, but he's ahead of me. I'm really enjoying it so far.
