tbh in almost EVERY episode, there's Nolan ALMOST dying 😆 😆

I would‘ve picked the whole serial killer storyline for Nolan. He also survived a serial killer and it was way more dangerous for him because the bomber didn‘t even have a real dead man‘s switch.

When Tim Bradford gets shot in the pilot, it was not a burglary in progress, but an attempt to pick up a wanted fugitive.

8:00 It’s not a call, he was outside the station, and it’s not an accident, Nolan was telling him to move.

I Think the part when nolan and the captain is kidnapped was his closest to death

I suggest you do a bit more research on the backstories. So many details are wrong

After 40+ years, "The Rookie" really gives the legendary "Hill Street Blues" a run for its money.

This gets some things wrong here. Jackson didn't turn his camera on before they went in. He turned it on after the beating, which you show. Body cams are always recording, but they only save when the body cams are on and several minutes BEFORE they're turned on. So by turning it on there, he captured him watching him get beat.

Also, the La Fierra wasn't after Angela and her baby because Angela had taken down her people. She was after them because her son was killed and Angela had, correctly, pointed out that it was La Fierra's fault. So she wanted to punish angela and replace her dead boy in the same revenge plot.

The one about Nolan was a little wrong. It wasn’t a routine stop. Someone broke into a car outside of the station, so Nolan went out with Tim and Lucy to arrest the person who was waking into the car and then he saw a man in a van who was parked where no civilian should be parking so he was trying to tell him where to park and then he threatened Nolan to get into the car.
