Rookie Blue Debuts on ABC
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.
Gregory Smith whom you may remember from Everwood, looks like he hasn’t aged a day. You may also recognize Missy Peregrym from “Heroes” and “Reaper”.
I think the show has some real potential to grow an audience. It features young faced audiences can identify with combined with your typical police drama. 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.
A bit more about the series below the jump. But first, I am looking for a someone to cover Rookie Blue for The Disney Blog. Drop me a line if you’re interested and can get a review of each show in within 24 hours of broadcast.
