Cast Of The Rookie Season 4 Episode 16

Okay, let's talk about "The Rookie," specifically season 4 episode 16. It's called "Real Crime." Honestly, sometimes the real crime is the outfits they make Nathan Fillion wear. Just kidding! (Mostly.)

The Usual Suspects

Of course, we see our core crew. John Nolan is there. He's always trying to do the right thing. Sometimes he succeeds. Sometimes he ends up covered in something questionable.

Chenford alert! Yes, Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen are present and accounted for. Their dynamic is like a slow-burn rom-com. Will they ever admit their feelings? My grandma could solve this case faster than they can.

And let's not forget Angela Lopez. She's a force of nature. She's also a mom now. Balancing work and family? Girl, I feel you!

Guest Stars Galore?

This episode had some guest stars. Did any of them really stand out? That's up for debate. I won't spoil it, but prepare for the usual suspects of crime dramas. Think shady characters and suspicious alibis.

Honestly, sometimes these guest characters are so obviously guilty. It's like they're wearing a flashing neon sign that says, "I did it!" Maybe that's just me?

Unpopular Opinions (Brace Yourselves)

Here's where things get spicy. Are you ready for some unpopular opinions? I hope so, because here they come!

Okay, deep breath... Sometimes Wesley Evers annoys me. He's supposed to be this super-smart lawyer. But he gets into some pretty dumb situations. Like, dude, read the room!

And another one: Sometimes the cases are a little too far-fetched. Real cops probably roll their eyes at some of the stuff that happens. But hey, it's entertainment, right?

But seriously though, the way they solve crimes on this show is sometimes… convenient. Evidence just seems to fall into their laps. Makes my job searching for a missing sock feel like a Herculean task.

The Chenford of It All

Can we just talk about Chenford some more? I'm addicted. Their scenes are always the highlight. The tension is palpable.

Honestly, the writers are torturing us! Just let them be happy already! I'm pretty sure my blood pressure spikes every time they have a "almost but not quite" moment.

I bet the writers are laughing maniacally in a room filled with Chenford fanfiction. It's the only explanation.

Final Verdict

Season 4, Episode 16 of "The Rookie"? Solid episode. Some good drama. Some questionable guest star acting. And of course, the ever-present Chenford angst.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's "The Rookie!" It's comfort food TV. You know what you're getting, and that's okay.

Just don't expect it to be winning any awards for realism. Unless there's an award for "Most Implausible Crime Solved in Under 45 Minutes." In that case, they're a shoo-in.

And that is my two cents.
