	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] has the few auspices necessary for a functionally pleasant procedural (...) 'Castle' fans may still be upset their favorite show is gone, but this 'Rookie' seems built from the bones of its predecessor."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"The series tries, with limited success, to be both a star vehicle for Fillion and also an ensemble. It doesn't pay off in the pilot"	NEU
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"'The Rookie' is a completely passable and competent drama series (...) [It] is good, but like its main character, it has a lot of learning to do. This show can be one of the greats."	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"Nathan Fillion is masterfully charming (...) How long the premise can sustain itself is questionable (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"What makes 'The Rookie's pilot episode stand out is the degree to which it shows instead of tells (...) [Its] greatest strength (...) is an ability to be a little of everything all the time."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Fillion is vulnerable and appealing (...) But 'The Rookie' seems destined to test the limits of that charm, in a show where the shaky imagery can't obscure that we've seen every beat here before."	NEU
Canada	John Doyle The Globe and Mail	"The first episode is flawless (...) Fillion is enormously likeable here (...) The plot zips along."	POS
