On the first day on the job the five police rookies who are the focus of Rookie Blue are told that forget what you learned in the Police Academy. The Academy is about rules, the street is where rules are twisted and bent for the sake of justice.
Rookie Blue in terms of structure is most like Hill Street Blues from the other side of the 49th parallel. That was also about a precinct, but its perspective comes from the commanding officer or top down. Here it is from the bottom up as we see the precinct in Rookie Blue from the freshest faces in the place.
The five rookies are Missy Peregrym, Gregory Smith, Enuka Okuma, Travis Milne, and Charlotte Sullivan. The main focus is Peregrym who is carrying the police legacy of a father who was once a prominent homicide detective, but has gone to seed.
This is a nice Canadian police series. Wonder why it wasn't picked up south of the border?
