Rookie Blue: The Complete First Season

Your first reaction when you start watching this ABC series may be to shut it off after about five minutes: the actors just seem too pretty to be convincing as rookie police officers. Fight the urge to stop it, though, and give it a chance. The stories may not be that original, particularly if you are a cop show fanatic, but they get the job done, and the job of this series is to help us get over the pretty face prejudice and let the talented young cast do their job. And they do it pretty well, particularly Missy Peregrym (Stick It) as the daughter of a washed up cop trying to reclaim her family honor.
