I really like this series.
Canada does it again.

With flashpoint yanked from the series graveyard,
now they have Rookie blue.
The show follows the 5 rookies and thier first assignment.

They make many mistakes, some mistakes I believe the training officer would be thrown off the force for.

The characters seem real, and they get their stories from real cops rookie stories.

-Confronting a gun totting teen with an empty pistol, and both pouches empty. (She forgot the bullets at home.)

Waits with foster parent as her teen as brain surgery to remove a bullet needed to convict a killer.

These are not the typical macho cops, glaring down criminals while posing, or taking off thier sunglasses as a signature move.
Like flashpoint the bad guys aren't always the worst of people, and the cops aren't perfect. They actually show emotions other than anger.

I think Canada will be a force to give competition to the big US studios rather quickly. American made seems to be an assembly line story. Detective show-Crime scene investigator, sit com. The names and faces change, but they seem to replay the same stories over and over.
