Season 3 is just awful. Political correctness and the need to white shame has turned this once great program into utter garbage. Contrary to what this show now portrays the majority of us are not racist and this constant need to induce white guilt is more divisive and is only increasing racial hatred. Yes some people are racist but stop implying that all white people are racist because we are not. The rookie needs to get back to making great tv and stop being so political and divisive before viewers start leaving in droves..

Loved season 1 and 2, absolutely brilliant, but season 3, watching at the moment is just PC garbage, the police are the baddies and the show is filled with arrogant members of the BLM community having a go at anyone and everyone who is not of colour, destroying the show. If you do eventually look at buying it to see the end of the cliff hanger season 2 just buy the first episode, already sick of it by episode 3.
