Sometimes, with police procedurals, it's a good idea to switch things up with the format. These shows can tend to be a bit formulaic and a change of pace is warranted. The Rookie has done this throughout its run, with a few documentary-style episodes. Starting in Season 3, the series uses these stand-alone episodes to put its characters in front of a documentary crew as they detail a particular case. While this seemed fun at first, I'm begging the writers to avoid using this gimmick in future episodes. With this tactic, it feels like we don't get a lot of real face-time with the characters (although one Chenford interaction has made my day!), and this episode tries to tie way too many past cases together. For me, Episode 15 just ends up feeling disjointed, and the multitude of side characters has left me feeling confused. Here's a rundown of how the documentary episode plays out.
