ABC’s series THE ROOKIE is now on Tuesday nights in its sixth season, available the next day on Hulu, and has been renewed for a seventh. The show’s title character, John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), started the series as a fortyish LAPD rookie, and has since become a training officer for other rookies. While Fillion receives top billing, THE ROOKIE has evolved into an ensemble dramedy, in which all of the regular characters get substantial storylines.

In THE ROOKIE’s second season, Eric Winter’s character, LAPD training officer Tim Bradford, is starting to mellow a little. Sure, in the series created by Alexi Hawley, Bradford still addresses all the new officers as “Boot,” has no patience with slow responses, and generally expects everybody to live up to his standards of perfection. However, Bradford has gotten noticeably gentler with his trainee, Officer Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil), ever since she survived being kidnapped by a serial killer. Bradford has even mellowed, a little, toward the department’s oldest rookie, John Nolan, played by Nathan Fillion. Winter, a native Californian, played […]Read On »
