5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!, September 9, 2009

This review is from: Rookies: The Complete Season One (DVD)

I adored this show. I enjoy a lot of cop shows but this may be my favorite. It's hard not to feel sorry for the new guys and girls who have entered this completely different world of policing and who have plenty of awkward moments. The end of every episode has a little "zinger" that gets you every time. It was a superb season and I only hope that they will make more.

This review is from: Rookies: The Complete Season One (DVD)

Okay, how am I reviewing this DVD before its release date?

To be frank, I purchased this two disc set directly from A&E Home Video Store at a higher price about a month ago and found it to be one of the most watchable, entertaining, and fascinating looks into the true crime
genre that A&E and Discovery have been producing over the past twenty years.

You can feel the frustration, the sense of impending danger, the disappointments, and the heartfelt emotions of these young American rookie police officers as they are individually put through the paces of a patrol officer by their "FTO's" [field training officers].

You will find yourself laughing, cringing, and even questioning your own sensibilities as to how YOU would handle some of these everyday situations that face the everyday street cop on the beat.

Between "Brooklyn Homicide North", the newly released "Crime 360" and now this series, "The Rookies", these television DVD's will be long remembered as the Golden Era of True Crime documentary entertainment.

This review is from: Rookies: The Complete Season One (DVD)

I purchased this DVD for a high school class that I'm teaching which focuses on Public Safety. "Rookies" is a realistic account of what it must be like to put on that duty belt and uniform for the first time, and get in a patrol car. The insight provided by the rookies being followed in Tampa, FL and Jefferson Parish, LA are candid, frank, and eye-opening. The training that's discussed is helpful for anyone who knows an officer, and would like to get an idea about what new officers have to experience. Great show.
