One thing that 'real life' officers liked about Nathan Fillion's previous show 'Castle' was that they always used gloves in crime scenes. There are times on 'The Rookie' where they go into crimes scene and touch a bunch of stuff with their bare hands. Aren't they just contaminating evidence?
That's cool. But this series would be most people first look into the perspective of police officers and their duties. If it was a series about your occupation, you'd want it to be as real as possible so people could see it from your perspective.
that's because Nyla, she wanted to lock then by herself, and show for everyone that she is the Best, but in the end she got rep by her sargeant. and almost sued by Nolan.
i get its not a realistic show, but that's what I like. If it were Too realistic, it would be Boring! i watch tv for escapism not realism . Real Cops are boring
Not really. It all depends on capability of writers and fight coordinator. I mean you could have made that fight more realistic instead of Nolan standing in the open waiting to get shot
I find the rookie is mostly entertaining but not realistic at all. Is just after mild action playtime...must be fun to act in tho...cops and robbers playing
From the moment on, seeing 3 LAPD officers flying to Guatemala (S4, E1) to rescue another officer already showed me it's not that realistic. But, except for that, I really like it, even though some scenes are not that realistic and more of a Hollywood thing.
The door getting shot is not really so fake since the LAPD has ballistic resistant door panels. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has a standard for ballistic-resistant vehicle door panels, published in November 2018. The standard, E3113, defines ballistic tests for door panels, standardizes protection levels, and includes language to help police departments retrofit current vehicles or purchase new vehicles with ballistic-resistant doors
The rookie is my favourite police show - but here: Police don’t just stand in the open and fire. They take cover. The brown lady was just standing there without any cover and not getting shot? 2. Criminals can hit their shots. They don’t miss 100+ shots especially when there are 5 bad guys on their team. 3. Police literally can’t die in this show
It's fun to compare shows to real day to day scenarios and the professional insight is awesome. For the commentors, complaining about the "That would never happen in real life" events, don't lose sight that this is filmed for entertainment and isn't meant to be a docuseries. It's "escapism" at best.
The last time someone genuinely wished me a quiet shift, I was one of only two officers on duty. And we had an armed robbery while we were both busy at the jail processing a different arrest…
The biggest problem I have with this show is the detective work. Do cops really bribe convicts with a lighter sentence to give up a bigger fish? If that’s really true, then there are 1000’s of convicts roaming the streets because cops set them free. All the cops had to do, was talk to their sergeant, and they may pass the case on to a bureau that can investigate further.
I thought it was just a regular Elcan Specter optic, which also would make 0 sense as Eotech famously has flip magnifier anyway. why not just use that.
Did no one else notice that the M4 the female officer was 'firing' was NOT ejecting shell cases ! The bad guys with the MP5K's look as though they were ejecting shell casings but not the M4...the muzzle flash also looked kinda CGI.
I watched the first episode and I was immediately done. I love Nathan Fillion, but in the first episode he has a hostage taker and shoots him in the leg to take him down without killing him. Literally everything was wrong with that, if a trainee had a hostage scenario and failed to take the headshot when it was available, thus putting the hostage at risk, they would be super fired. A tv depicting a cop doing that is super frustrating because it contributes to the public having unrealistic expectations.
The thing on the rifle is a scopecam. The entire show they do that with any optic. They sadly dont know that if ya have a scope cam it goes infront of the optic.
It's a riot reading the asinine comments from ppl that suddenly become police experts. The lines are so cringy I couldn't imagine a shopping mall security or crossing guard say any of them with a straight face.
Alright, as for the shootout around 3:40 when they shoot the car door, I do know that LAPD has Ballistic paneled doors that I believe are IIIA rated. So, theoretically it's possible you could have someone fire rifle rounds into your door and still not get hit. To clarify: I know they have ballistic doors, but I am unsure exactly what level. I believe I hear somewhere is was level III but not totally sure.
If it would be really realistic than no one would watch it. As a watcher you want action, shootings etc you want it unrealistic else no one would watch
@@jellew8343 Yes because it's a show and not supposed to be realistic everywhere. Most cops don't get in combat situations where they have to fight. Actors have to train in combat because fight scenes are common.
If I remember correctly, I think Tim once had a rifle with two laser sights and a like two scopes after joining Metro one time. At that point, bro just add a third laser and become the Predator
Bringing their cell phones inside the prison, and visiting inmates in their cell like Oscar is so unrealistic 😂😂 I still love the show and the chenford relationship
At 4:20, some magnifiers or NV optics don't perfectly level with red dots or holographics. My magnifier doesn't level with my red dot despite them being the same brand with the proper riser, hence why my magnifier has to be zeroed with two set screws. EDIT: She's running a PVS-14 with what looks like a USGI picatinny mount.
I really liked the Rookie for the first season. The 2nd was ok for parts but it’s gone full comicbook stupid since. I can’t list the amount stupid it’s become.
Nope, cars are not ideal cover unless you are behind the engine block. EDIT: Not all police cars, depending where you are they may have plates in the doors or not
They're not armored, they've made advancements to add kevlar bullet catches in the doors to stop at least small arms fire effectively but really only the best funded departments will have it
The only thing good or realistic in that last scene was calling out malfunction cover and I always thought the doors on a squad car have kevlar lining in them you would think they would have some resistance to small caliber
What’s she’s running on the “AR-15” because I’ve seen the show. Is a PVS-14. Which makes no fucking sense for a day shift. (Unless I’m wrong about this, lmk if I am) Not to mention that “AR-15” is firing in fully automatic
i always wondered how realistic the rookie is,obviously they deal with crazy stuff for tv purposes but like do cops actually say shop? call rookies boots and other things
I love this show but ya that last scene when I watched it the first time was super immersion breaking. She asked for night vision and an Ar15.... Even though it's day time and the gun they gave her looks more like an m4.
"I'm gonna put the trauma plate in my vest". It's like, supposed to be there, from the beginning of carrying the damn thing. There are so many ex-LEOs in circulation, why don't they hire/listen to them so that basic stuff, that won't hurt the entertainment aspect of the movie/show, isn't overlooked? Btw, Southland, older series, when I watched it, it did feel somewhat "real", mind giving that a go?
Lady with the AR isn't even aiming down the fucking sights. I was like...that's a dumb set up. Not only is it a short barrel making it worse for range, it is also gonna be much louder than a more longer barrel. Not sure if that's a thermal or a night scope on the AR but damn it was pointless. You should watch a scene later where they kept using that exact weird scope behind a red dot but the dude's red dot was mounted on the handguard
I’m not sure where you are a cop at but I unfortunately live in Los Angeles county and dealt with lapd sometimes in my job and the front doors for lapd and la county sheriffs have armor panels in them capable of stopping rifle rounds. So for the exact situation it’s accurate being lapd but other departments I’m not sure so I won’t argue overall.
Holy christ! Did the advisors really attach a PVS-14 (Night Vision) behind an EOTech??? That "gunfight" was something else. I've never watched this show because it just looked awful (made for suburban housewives) and wow, I am not disappointed. I'll stick to the first few seasons of SouthLand, although they were really jumping the shark in that final season. That first season is still the best. I did try an episode of the new SWAT but yeah, again, AWFUL!
My favourite is the nvg scope mounted 6 ft away from the eotech 😂 and in some episodes an acog 😂 and they are always firing full auto with their rifles lol
5:27 Hey I'm pretty sure that 99% of police cars have ballistics plates in their doors to stop rounds from turning the "shop" into a coffin, and its passengers into DBs.
I do volunteer firefighting and my brother and I were at the station after training and he says it's been quiet lately not even 10 minutes later we get a call
I think that's not a night vision with an EOTech. I think the crew tried to make an EOTech HHS i.e. an EOTech EXPS3 holographic on the front and a G33 magnifier on the back. But G33 doesn't look like that.
Not sure how much you know about it but you should do SWAT on CBS, not the original one but the 2017-present one. I see a lot of stuff that is relatively realistic in it but there is without a doubt a lot of moments I find myself saying "Wow this is so stupid why would they even....wtf"
I am one of those superstitious ones for the Q word. I work in EMS and even I might say this is much but I got sent on calls out of county not too bad til we got stuck outside the county and held over and got ran non stop and a crew down there got into a accident. Like I said it might be a stretch putting that together but that doesn’t make saying the Q word on shift any better
@king_julien2114 It's like the SWAT guys are doing every other job of the force. They're patrolling, community policing, doing detective work, etc. They also seem to work in a super high-tech lab/gym rather than a cop station.
You're talking like rifle silhouette shooting (forgot the /proper/ name) in rapid firefights with no civs doesn't exist. As for the device, during this episode Harper (black woman sporting M4) asks Nolan to get "her" rifle with AN\PVS NV module and funnily enough if you google "Eotech ANPVS" you can see it's either Eotech's own M914 or a mounted AN\PVS-14 NV monocular, even in this particular setup. Why? I guess they've wanted something that looks "tacticool" and more exotic than just a magnifier, simply to emphasize Harper's unique approach due to earlier drug busting work (where actually during night raids or pushing into dark warehouses such optic setup could indeed be a godsend). Thus, it's an interesting detail that doesn't need to be bad. As for using door as cover and treating cruisers like it's some MRAP, others already pointed out why, so again - seems you're wrong.
The fact that the bad guys have more sense to get behind cover. While the HIGHLY TRAINED police officers stand out in the open and get into a shootout is just... amazing. Also 18 inches off the wall bullets love walls.
How about no one wearing hearing protection... no recoil from ANY firearm... The way they make civilians gun owners look stupid... its not a pro 2A kinda show.

Season 1 is the most realistic (yes there are stupid mistakes too). After season 1 they went the Hollywood road.
Fake muzzle flashes 😂
Yeah but the show's still good at least
yep………
Had to go back and watch Southland after the first season... 😊
After season 1 they went woke af. Gave up on this steaming pile about 2 episodes into season 2. Shame.
As soon as someone says “it’s a quiet day..” all hell breaks loose.
The whole Q-word superstition also goes for food service lmao
This show has some massively insane scenarios however there’s something about it that has great charm to it. And overall super enjoyable.
If they wanted to be realistic they would just have them sit at an intersection radaring for hours on end
What's ironic is that the director of this show wanted it to be as realistic as possible, but it's completely the opposite.
That’s not a bad thing . Maybe he relized too much realism is actually boring
One thing that 'real life' officers liked about Nathan Fillion's previous show 'Castle' was that they always used gloves in crime scenes. There are times on 'The Rookie' where they go into crimes scene and touch a bunch of stuff with their bare hands. Aren't they just contaminating evidence?
As a former jail officer, the LAST thing you want to say is how quiet your shift is.
Personally I do not really care if it is not realisitc or not. For me series/movies are there to escape the realism.
That's cool. But this series would be most people first look into the perspective of police officers and their duties.
If it was a series about your occupation, you'd want it to be as real as possible so people could see it from your perspective.
@@KolaOyeyemi it also helps with the immersion
What annoys me the lot is when a officer pursue an huge crime scene without calling for any back up. Especially Nolan and Nyla.
Yea and they almost die
Especially since they were so on that in the first season, but kinda...forgot, moving forward.
that's because Nyla, she wanted to lock then by herself, and show for everyone that she is the Best, but in the end she got rep by her sargeant. and almost sued by Nolan.
LAPD cop cars actuallyhave AR 500 plates in the doors.
Didn’t that happen after North Hollywood?

@@danzansandeev6033 it was cool the way it was .
The gun fights are the one thing that bother me about the show, but I always have to remind myself its for entertainment purposes.
its legit like watching 2 silvers fight eachother with the hardest weapon to control
The Q word is real no matter what job it is I swear 😂😂

Bro you cant say "the rookie is my fav show" and dont know the name of the character
It shouldnt be realistic, it should be a good series!
W
It's trash
I will make a comment about the rounds that hit the door. LAPD does have level IIIA armor in the front doors and on the windshield of their cruisers.
last time i checked tv shows are for entertainement not realism
The thing you use to aim is obstructed
they might have ballistic panels in the doors of that cruiser. it is LA after all.
Ford does install Ballistic panels in the doors

3:05 Behind the EOtech is a PVS-14 (night vision monocular) which make absolutely no sense obviously.

Because it is cgi
I read something somewhere where apparently they use BB guns and edit the flashes later for safety.
3:24 as an ex lapd cop ive seen this happen before. Guy got shot 3 times though.
It's Hollywood man, there's nothing realistic about this show. But it's fun and it's funny and Lopez is hot!
And the daddy cop song is epic!
Even Lucy and Celina are hot
There are some realistic things cus the show is made with the real LAPD
"You do not ever use the q word"
Me, giving charms candies to my buddies when I'm mad at them.
I watched the first episode and I was immediately done. I love Nathan Fillion, but in the first episode he has a hostage taker and shoots him in the leg to take him down without killing him.

Harper went full auto with the carbine, as a police officer. hmm...
Worst part is the safety selector was in semi
The thing on the rifle is a scopecam. The entire show they do that with any optic. They sadly dont know that if ya have a scope cam it goes infront of the optic.
Ik I saying the same thing while watching the show. They be running the most goofy optics while using their rifle in CQB 😂
It's a riot reading the asinine comments from ppl that suddenly become police experts. The lines are so cringy I couldn't imagine a shopping mall security or crossing guard say any of them with a straight face.
LAPD cars have plates in the doors
The Q word is true I think in every profession
The Q Word is also exist in healthcare as well. I always use the Q word to mess with people.
Alright, as for the shootout around 3:40 when they shoot the car door, I do know that LAPD has Ballistic paneled doors that I believe are IIIA rated. So, theoretically it's possible you could have someone fire rifle rounds into your door and still not get hit.

You're right it varies but they can be equipped with level III and IV rated panels.
If it would be really realistic than no one would watch it. As a watcher you want action, shootings etc you want it unrealistic else no one would watch
The shootings are way over the top and way too frequently brev
@@jellew8343 Yes because it's a show and not supposed to be realistic everywhere. Most cops don't get in combat situations where they have to fight. Actors have to train in combat because fight scenes are common.
4:43 even if I were the actor I would look through the optic.
Most probably director/producer choice, or just ignorance
If I remember correctly, I think Tim once had a rifle with two laser sights and a like two scopes after joining Metro one time. At that point, bro just add a third laser and become the Predator
The scene with the door is realistic as I have seen police cruises using Kevlar sheets in the door
Still bad form and unrealistic to training.

EDIT: She's running a PVS-14 with what looks like a USGI picatinny mount.
To be fair, I would assume most LAPD cruisers are equipped with the Ford factory ballistic door inserts which are Level IV+ rated.
In another episode they got an acog set up with a pvs-14 but they got it set up so you had to look through the pvs-14 first and then into the acog
Hey but ngl it’s a good show
I really liked the Rookie for the first season. The 2nd was ok for parts but it’s gone full comicbook stupid since. I can’t list the amount stupid it’s become.
"Do you ever watch a TV show or movie and say 'there's no way...'"
Yes, anything medical in my case.
I always thought police cars were bullet proof am I missing anything about the shots into the car?
Nope, cars are not ideal cover unless you are behind the engine block.
EDIT: Not all police cars, depending where you are they may have plates in the doors or not
They're not armored, they've made advancements to add kevlar bullet catches in the doors to stop at least small arms fire effectively but really only the best funded departments will have it
hospitals are like that too with the word quiet lol
LAPD has kevlar in the doors.
i love full hollywood to be fair
I love seeing real cops react to these cop shows and movies. You get a real perspective, just like when veterans react to war movies. Great job 👍🏽
The only thing good or realistic in that last scene was calling out malfunction cover and I always thought the doors on a squad car have kevlar lining in them you would think they would have some resistance to small caliber
God bless you brother! I hope your channel grows!
Question: As patrol, is it a car, a shop, or a cruiser?
I am 12 and I want to become a cop its called a cruiser or shop irl
What’s she’s running on the “AR-15” because I’ve seen the show. Is a PVS-14. Which makes no fucking sense for a day shift. (Unless I’m wrong about this, lmk if I am) Not to mention that “AR-15” is firing in fully automatic
Yeah when I reached this episode I noticed that too, definitely one of the more unrealistic parts of this show
i always wondered how realistic the rookie is,obviously they deal with crazy stuff for tv purposes but like do cops actually say shop? call rookies boots and other things
There was an episode where a joint agency was shooting her rifle without a magazine. 😂😂
I noticed that when I watched the show too.

As for using door as cover and treating cruisers like it's some MRAP, others already pointed out why, so again - seems you're wrong.

Same as working in the emergency room
