Tonight was the 2nd episode of a new summer series from ABC – Rookie Blue. I missed the premiere last week somehow. The show follows a crop of five young rookie cops plunged into the world of big city police work from the word go, literally. Most of the emphasis is on the rookie experience and their insecurities and challenges.

I found the writing to be decent and the acting up to the challenges of the genre. It’s no Hill Street Blues, but that’s not really required of every show on TV. Sometimes you watch just to be entertained.
