"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is the third episode of the first season on The Rookie. This is the third episode of the series overall.
Nolan and Bishop chase a group of thieves and Nolan loses a bag of stolen money when a street performer runs off with it. The precinct learns that the thieves are part of a gang who have pulled off a string of heists and they begin searching for the remaining gang members. Meanwhile, Chen helps Bradford as he readjusts to being back on duty while also trying to help his drug addicted wife, who reveals to Chen she was once a narcotics cop. Elsewhere, an arrest of a former college athlete causes West and Lopez to talk about alternative careers to police work, since Lopez still doubts West's ability to handle the job.
The Rookie is an American police procedural crime drama television series created for ABC by Alexi Hawley. The series follows John Nolan, a man in his forties, who becomes the oldest rookie at the Los Angeles Police Department. The series is based on real-life Los Angeles Police Department officer William Norcross, who moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and joined the department in his mid-40s.
The series stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Mercedes Mason, Melissa O'Neil, Afton Williamson, Mekia Cox, Shawn Ashmore and Eric Winter.

Great reaction. I'm just sitting here patiently waiting for you to get to later seasons. I know it takes time.
Thank you for the support! We are definitely going to prioritize the Rookie for the foreseeable future 😁
@@OnlyCopsseason 3 and 4 are some of the best TV you will watch, as far as entertainment goes.
@@nicohunt9680 absolutely agreed, sadly I still have to wait for season 5 in free TV here in Germany 😑
@@OnlyCopsman season 6 of the rookie is getting closer and closer to
7:00 Remember that people responsible for "shops", as the show calls them have beef with Nolan for destroying so many cars, that he only gets bad ones now.
🤣🤣🤣 Nolan is always getting the short straw in this show lol poor guy
You guys should do the next episode, episode 4 "The Switch" where the rookies switch T.O's and Jackson West freezes up again with Bradford.
It's definitely on our list!
I really enjoy your commentary on these shows, especially that you don't just bash everything as "not realistic" but keep in mind that it needs some dramatization for TV. Makes this always a very enjoyable watch where I can learn a lot about law enforcement in the US.
That made my morning 😁 The shows job is to entertain before educate so I often would have made the same creative decisions they did even at the cost of accuracy to reality. Plus it gives us a reason to give commentary 😁
Poor Lucy aka neck tat lol she gets better as she gets more confident 😂
I actually like Lucy's character. She is just in a lot of complicated situations in this show 🤣
@@OnlyCops oh...well...that definitely doesn't stop 😂
@@maggieculley6199no no it doesn’t
I discovered your guys' channel through the 'The Rookie' content. I already binged it all. Please keep it coming, I really enjoyed your reaction and your commentary.
Thank you so much for the support 😊 we are working on filming some more soon!
I'm excited for your next episode of The Rookie. ^-^
Wooo!
I would love to see them react to the openings of the episodes that are random parts of their day on shift, that’s don’t have anything else to do with the rest of the episode. The the Escape Room with Bishop & Nolan. Or the Bee Car with Lopez & Nolan. The guy with the never ending knives with Nolan or Lucy going on American Idol.
And please make sure they know that the actress why plays Lucy is an actual singer. That she won Canadian Idol when she was really young & that she’s been on Broadway.
We are going to start doing full episodes moving forward so we should get more of this type of stuff for you guys 😁
I actually really like Lucy's character in the show! It brings me a lot of joy to know that she is so multifaceted and an incredibly talented person 😁
Yes, can't wait to see them react to 'Cop Cuties' lmao
One of the first things I learned when doing moderate level casino security is this: No matter how fast someone is, they can not outrun my radio.
As for the SWAT meeting, they could have cut in toward the end where they gave the information they needed for the context of the show while indicating that the meeting was much longer.
The radio out runs everything!
I love these and don’t want to distract from Rookie react but listening to this episode, would love to hear you reaction to SWAT tv show.
That's is definitely on our radar for shows to react to!
I love the fact that you guys respect cinematic liberty even though knowing that some scenes are way past reality and that's the major reason I always enjoy your videos .....keep growing brothers!
It helps that we in a small way develop content as well so we understand the need to keep it entertaining 😅 We appreciate the support 🥰
*radio* "suspect at large" *response immediately after* "Typically you don't move on the perimeter unless the guy's moving"
just had a little giggle at that
Loving the reactions to one of my favorites. Just a suggestion, you guys should make a separate playlist for the reactions to the Rookie. Would make it alot easier to follow these reactions.
Thank you for the support! We will definitely pull a separate Playlist out for you guys lol
He could have locked it before she opened her door? He shuts it off pops out hits the lock, she’s a second behind pops the lock with her inside door handle
I love how you reply to as many comments as possible 😁 and your videos always make my day
I do my best! We hope to get more videos out to you guys this year 😁
Love the commentary, very excited to see you react to episode 8, I think that will be very interesting
It is on our radar 😁
Gimme some Chen.❤️❤️🔥🔥
The button would lock em both, but if she got out after him might unlock from opening it. I worked on police interceptors for like 5 yrs (privately owned company in MA that only sold/outfitted/repaired municipal vehicles). Its happened a few times where the door unlocked. It does not work on the rear doors as the child safety lock is always on so door doesnt open whether its locked or not.
Dude 1) you are a real hero because our fleet service guys were life savers with fixing our patrol vehicles 2) that's the best explanation I've seen so far for the door being unlocked lol
@@OnlyCops I actually had an officer tell me i saved his life, i used to install the fire suppression panels on the crown vics back in 2010s. I did it for every Mass State Police crown vic that came in. He got hit by a drunk driver, while parked, got knocked out and the panel shattered releasing the fire suppression powder.
I know some of their cars came with the fire suppression buttons (because crown vics had a metal fuel tank next to the metal exhaust) and he said because he got knocked out he wouldnt have been able to hit and probably would have died. That hit so hard when he told me ill never forget it.
I cannot wait for y’all to get to season 5 when Celina comes in as a new rookie. She’s a rogue train wreck! The episode regarding her sister’s abduction and murder sends me right over. SO many issues with that one!
We are in a hurry to catch up with the episodes! Thank you for supporting the content with comments 😁
Celina is going to piss them the hell off lol.
I am just waiting for the moment when my bro Josh's gonna pass out laughing hard and bill breaking the television screen after watching the scene where celina (5th season , new rookie of John Nolan) pulls over a vehicle cuz it gave her some kinda DaRk AuRa LOL
In later seasons, they leave doors open, and windows rolled down
🤣 recruiting standards dropped in the show like they did in real life I guess
Oh I love that you're watching the actual show now!
We decided it was easier to do it this way lol
literally been binging all the rookie reacts videos
Omg thanks! We plan to film a bunch more soon!
I don't think Sergeant Grey actually thinks Patrol can do that better than Swat in 5 mins and without fancy tools, IMHO that's what he thinks his guys need to hear right there, it's pep-talk shouldn't be taken at face value.
I hope you're right 😅
Guys , please drop an episode reacting to some hilarious scenes of Brooklyn 99 .....can't wait to see Josh pass out laughing🤣🤣🤣
Brooklyn 99 is by far one of the funniest cop shows out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@OnlyCops Can't agree more🤣🤣🤣
I agree with not using the gun light when you have optimal light conditions. Can’t wait for you guys to review S1 Ep8 of the Rookie, it goes over an officer involved shooting.
We are definitely planning on doing more of this show 😁 thanks for the support!
I hate that people dont call backup. I hate they don't announce. I hate they dont wait for backup. I hate they turn on flashlights in a gun fight situation. I hate they lie. You can make mistakes, but once you lie, how can you give evidence in court?
I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure they are supposed to manually lock their own doors with that little press button thingy. The one by the window? Incase the key fails LA doesn’t rely on technology.
Off topic, but some of these episodes show them getting all butt hurt when FBI or something like that takes over the case… would the patrol even really care?
That makes sense about the doors. And as for the FBI, local PD would likely be thrilled to give up a call to another agency 🤣 less work for them!
I've come to realize, apparently LAPD requests airship quite often. A lot of shows based in the LAPD use that term with almost everything that happens.
That makes a lot of sense!
If there is a world in which you could do one episode a week of The Rookie I would be so happy. Also releasing full unedited reactions of the whole episodes on Patreon would make a patron of me, if you were so inclined. Love it!
We will see if the internet would allow for an unedited Bill and Josh 😅 but we are working to get more filming done soon so we can get more episodes done for you guys 😊
Damn 1 day after i comment for another rookie episode and boom its here
We got you homie 😁
Comment more
@@natemoise6548😂😂😂😂
The button locks the doors. However, in my experience both front doors can be opened from inside when locked. So it's possible that he hit the button before she opened her door.
When you look at 4:20 frame, it's locked. Then at 4:37 the frame shows it unlocked.
My Explorer can be unlocked with an app on my phone so it was probably Sgt. Grey unlocking it from the station to frame Nolan. 😜
I love the discussion around this in the comments section 😁
Regarding the door thing i think she forgot to close her door and that is how the kid got in
That makes sense, either way it's definitely a learning moment for the character 🤣
This is insane.
It may be different in America, but in Australia, MCG are smart enough to not pick fights with cops. They know the repercussions if they do. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose if they do, they are not stupid.
Ours are very stupid 🤣 Though I have met a lot of smart gang members, there were WAY more stupid ones
@@OnlyCops Usually the Sgt @ arms etc and above know the consequences. They don't want to call down the wrath of the police upon them.
In an err unknown place in an unknown umm non american country....for example... , ....I have umm ...heard...that they have multiple warrants written up.....and the leaders know it. So the moment a member steps out of line, the leaders know they will get raided, the Tax office will step in, etc.
At one point we had every licensed premises in an entire massive area ban any bikie gang member in colours or showing gang tatts etc. That gang folded fast. They couldnt group up, they could not go to their local shopping centre or restaurant with their family.
@@OnlyCops That is why you deal with the leaders. Then when you talk to the lower level ones you outline the consequences and name drop their leaders.
@@Rainmain667 that's definitely a pretty reliable strategy
Love these videos, the rookie is one of my fav shows and they are coming out with another season… you guys should also react to swat it’s really good too
I'm glad you're enjoying them! We will add SWAT to our list!
Join us after the episode for our weekly bodycam livestream! Starting in 10 minutes! ua-cam.com/users/liveLQPnzBn7Muk?si=3crmGt80MgANBmcI
I cant wait for u to get to the later seasons, their the best in my opinion cause there’s so much more drama
We might be watching the show for very different reasons but it will definitely make for entertaining content 🤣
Weird bit I never thought of and I watched a lot of this show. "Wilshire" division doesn't cover a lot of area IIRC, they head way into areas not covered by them since they're on the other side of LA. On top of that they mention heading to cities that LAPD doesn't service as they have their own departments and they even leave the county at one point IIRC. So they're making LAPD seem like they cover way more areas than it does. (Not to mention I doubt an officer would like to be in traffic for an hour when they head to areas not in Downtown LA.)
I only thought about it cause the bikers look like they're way out in Venice Beach. I get the show wants to show off the areas LA is known for but these guys be heading way out there.
This is an interesting insight, I'm unfamiliar with how their jurisdiction is layed out to this helps!
Hope you get to season 5 soon, since season 6 is coming out next month or this month
We have a few filing days coming up so we will definitely try to get caught up ASAP
S5 ep22 and S2 ep11 are definitely the most event-filled episodes, i reccomend them in the future 😂 (if you want)
We are definitely adding more of the Rookie to our filming schedule 😁
considering LAPD is still running 15 year old Crown Vics, I wouldn't be surprised of the passenger lock on their 'shop' was just broken lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're probably right!
Even power locks can be used manually, and i guess thats how it happened, Nolan Closed His but she didn't
I hope they react to all the Rookie episodes! I’m quite curious what their take is gonna be on episode “Greenlight”. Would like to hear real cops’ opinion on an open hit like the one in that episode. And if they’ve ever experienced something like that themselves or what real cops would do in a situation like that.
We are definitely going to have to get through as much of the show as we can since it seems like that's what most people want 😁
Do the stigma associated with it, I'm a firm believer that police officers should have required counseling for 1 hour per week.
And they should be rotated off active duty for one week out of every 3 months.
Though I agree with the active duty rotations, counseling is often times over emphasized where peer support and simply education would suffice
@@OnlyCops well what I'm driving at is that police officers who do need therapy avoid getting it due to the stigma. If every officer is going every week then there is no stigma.
Police work is a brutal corrosive job.
Being that I was on a SWAT team when I was in the Army and do you think there's a difference between the Army and Police Departments SWAT teams and the briefing was intense and we had a packet of what we were going to do and it finite
Police departments likely stole the whole playbook from the military on how to approach operations like that.
@@OnlyCops most likely but when things get better for me I will subscribe to Patreon and do you have some gear
At the house that they raided, is there a possibilty that the house had a underground tunnel that was not in the blueprints?
It could definitely happen, but it's pretty unlikely. Code enforcement would have been all over a construction project that big in the middle of a city like LA so it would be hard for that to go unnoticed, but it definitely could happen if someone was motivated enough.
Love the evaluations
We love your comments!
Any update when you’re gonna hit ep 4 and 5? Should love To join the live of y’all watching them
We can't live stream us watching them on youtube unfortunately but we do have plans in the next few months to film a ton of these!
Is there a way in which she didn't push the door hard enough and was just left slightly open?
Maybe, but it still doesn't excuse the failure
@@OnlyCops oh yeah absolutely was just theorizing how that door was open with central locking
Context about that door lock, she never closed it.
Makes sense
The dumbass comments from Sergeant Gray about SWAT remind of McNulty’s comments in the season 1 finale of The Wire where he’s says “a bunch of guys who probably haven’t fired their weapons since the academy”, lol like what?! That’s all SWAT guys do all day when they’re training and I can be more than sure that Baltimore PD’s SWAT team stays active as fuck.
Idk why Hollywood has that portrayal of SWAT officers like they’re a bunch of dumb meatheads with no training that just go and break shit rather than the consummate professionals they usually are.
Have been enjoying the videos. Just want to recommend maybe some New Zealand policeten7.
Highway patrol.
I'm glad you have enjoyed our videos 😁 I'll add this to our show suggestions!
You guys have to react to all of the rookie episodes. Please 😊
It is definitely on the list now 😁 thanks for the support!
If he got out first and locked the doors and she opened hers after he had locked it hers wouldve remained unlocked. Thats all i can think of.
Maybe lol that or for plot reasons it was unlocked 🤣
Love for you to watch the whole show
We are trying to 😁
where are the K9 units? i hardly ever see K9s used in cop shows.
It's probably due to cost, having a dog handler, a trained actor dog, and the car might be expensive and showing a bite without a bite suit would either look fake or pose a huge danger to the cast
I hold my mic in my hand like a real Administrator.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a champ
Drone drop flashbangs? lol
That would be cool
Love the videos, you guys should react to Season 1, Episode 8 where Officer Nolan faces the first time he had to use deadly force.
I think we may have covered it, I will have to check!
10:47 i believe ABC also has a series called SWAT i hope they handle that better in that series
Our good buddy and fellow UA-cam policeman Chris the Cop has been an extra on SWAT a few times! We’re hoping to get him to Texas soon to do a few of those with us.
Will you be doing the episode time of death or skipping it?
I don't think we have done that one yet
They should watch swat if they don’t think the swat was in-depth enough lmao (it’s not a lot better but it’s good haha)
🤣 it's on the list now!
Hey guys.Why is it called COP a Feel?
🤣
I know this one! The term cop predates its use as slang for police. To cop meant ‘to take or seize’ so it started being used as just another way of saying ‘to arrest’ in the mid 1800s, evolved to ‘coppers’, then finally just cops.
Also cops like to get frisky 🫴
Cause when you become a graduated cop you get to feel up the pretty ones,under pretense of frisking them.The rookies get the ugly ones.🤣😂🤣😂
You guys should react to a chenford story line!!!!
We hope to do the whole show as soon as we can, filming is just a hard process for us 😅
I think tim was drinking
Must have been 🤣🤣🤣
I really want y'all to react to season 2 episode 11 just because
We will hopefully get to it in the next couple of weeks!
It might be fun to watch you guys react and commet on 911 series
We will add it to the list!
Have you guys done S.W.A.T the movie?
We haven't 🤔 We will add it to the list!
CANT WAIT
😁
Chenny Chen Chen
🤣
We Stan our neck tat queen
What episode was this
It would be in season 1 but I'm not sure which episode
You guys should react to the show S.W.A.T
SWAT is definitely on our radar for future episodes!
A question: if cops lock the doors every time they leave their viatures, how do they get in when they are in a hurry? Every officer has a remote control they press whan thay need to get in?
In most modern patrol vehicles we have key fobs that open the door when we are within a certain proximity or when we hit a button just like civilian cars. But even if we had to use a key to open it, I would rather have a car to get back into than have it stolen 😅
Dam LAPD can't shoot for sh**.
Pretty accurate lol
Is that an algorithm looking at this comment?
It better be!
Thank you both 😊
So do cops just not have ink where you are from?......plenty of cops in Canada with ink all over lmfao....
Pre 2020 it was not allowed at my old department, most agencies now are hurting for recruits so policies have changed to allow for it. I'm all for beards and tats on cops
@@OnlyCopsI mean i fully understand no offensive/gang tats 100%.......which makes me think of another show you should watch.....more so for the entertainment than for it being about police. Banshee is about a ex con who stumbles into a bar and the new Sherriff is there.....dies in a gun fight and the ex con takes on h is identity lol...then later there is a ex white supremist covered in Ink also becomes a cop
Officer West sucks.
Agreed lol
Officer Worst.
