What is The Rookie about?
The Rookie Season 7 finds John Nolan and the LAPD dealing with two new rookies, one of whom proves to be a nuisance because of multiple professional shortcomings.
The official synopsis for The Rookie is as follows:
“Starting over isn’t easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force’s oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.”
