Plot

Main article: List of Rookie Blue episodes

The series follows the lives of five rookie cops from 15 Division who have just graduated from the academy. They must learn not only to deal with their duties as police officers, but also deal with the problems and expectation of their families and friends. It has been described as Grey's Anatomy in the world of rookie cops.^[8]

Setting

The series is set in Toronto^[9] and, though similar to Flashpoint in that it does not make overt references,^[10] it does use local street names, such as King Street, and Jameson Avenue in Parkdale was the location of a call-out in the pilot episode.^[11]

Cast

Rookies

• Missy Peregrym portrays Andy McNally, the series protagonist. She is driven by the desire to do the right thing even if it means not following procedure. Her father was formerly a homicide detective before he burned out. As a result McNally carries her father's baggage trying to prove herself. She is in a relationship with homicide detective Luke Callaghan and at the end of the first season they bought a house and moved in together. In the episode "Hot and Bothered" she kisses and almost has sex with Sam Swarek, her training officer, before walking out on him, something that leaves them in discomfort for several episodes. She later got engaged with Luke Callaghan but broke up with him since he ended up sleeping with his ex-girlfriend. Near the end of season 2, she finally confesses that she has feelings for Swarek, but he has already left on an undercover mission. The last three episodes of season 2 show viewers the beginning of Swarek and McNally's relationship, even though he is undercover.
• Gregory Smith portrays Dov Epstein. He is often shown to be overeager to get involved in everything even when it is not necessary for him to do so. This characteristic has gotten him into trouble many times, so much so he has been told to "slow it down". However, in the first episode of the second season, Epstein's desire to be heavily involved enables him to save a man's life. He is Chris Diaz's best friend and roommate, and later Gail's roommate as well when she moves in with them. In season 2, he meets and becomes involved with Sue, a bomb technician from ETF.
• Charlotte Sullivan portrays Gail Peck. She is often seen by others as getting preferential treatment because of her connections to high-ranking officials in the police force. Her mother is a superintendent, her brother a successful narcotics detective, and her godfather is the chief of police. Because of this, she feels the need to prove to herself and others that she can do the job without help, which further isolates her. In the first season, she develops a relationship with Chris Diaz. However, the two break up in season 2 because Chris believes that she likes Dov.
• Enuka Okuma portrays Traci Nash. She is practical and responsible, likely the result of having had a child in high school. She is a single mother trying to find the balance between her work and her family. Complications arise both at work and at home as she once dated Detective Jerry Barber until she decided to try and get back together with her son's father. She is always trying to focus on her son, and do everything that is best for him. However, this sometimes gets in the way of her being a police officer. She later starts a serious relationship with Detective Barber.
• Travis Milne as Chris Diaz. He is often seen as taking the "by the book" approach. Despite this seemingly good trait, it makes him unable to take initiative. He is involved in a relationship with Peck until Diaz is forced to notify the authorities of corruption that Peck's brother's partner was involved in. This temporarily costs him the relationship with Gail Peck. Their relationship is further strained in season 2, when he thinks that she has feelings for Dov.

Old Guard

• Ben Bass portrays Sam Swarek. He is known as a rogue because he follows his instincts, even if it means sometimes breaking rules. Formerly an undercover officer working on a money laundering operation, his cover was exposed when McNally arrested him, believing him to be a suspect in a murder case. He returns to 15 Division as a training officer for the rookies, awaiting a position to open up in Guns and Gangs. In episode 7 (Hot and Bothered) of season 1, Andy, confused, goes to see him at night and almost sleeps with him. This makes their relationship awkward afterward but the two talk and make amends later. Although he is the love interest of McNally, he insists that their relationship is strictly professional. But in Season 2 there still might be hope for McNally and him because of the cheating of McNally´s fiance Luke Callaghan. During episode 10 (Best Laid Plans) of season 2, he went back into undercover operations before he had the chance of being romantically involved with McNally. However, they meet in the following episode and finally hook up.
• Lyriq Bent portrays Sergeant Frank Best. Formerly a training officer himself, he becomes head of 15 Division after Boyko departs. He is romantically involved with Officer Noelle Williams.
• Matt Gordon portrays Oliver Shaw, one of the rookies' training officers and a veteran of the police force. He is one of the few older police officers with a functional marriage and family, having a wife and two daughters, but he is kicked out by his wife in season 2 after she finds out that he went to a strip club.
• Noam Jenkins portrays Jerry Barber. A detective at 15 Division, he actively participates in operations and stings, coordinating officers and other resources at his disposal. He later became Traci's boyfriend and eventually sells his car, Stella, as sign that he wants to be serious in being more family oriented.
• Eric Johnson portrays Luke Callaghan. A homicide detective at 15 Division, he is tireless and exceedingly charming. He was involved in a relationship with McNally until he cheated on her with his ex-girlfriend, Jo Rosati. McNally ends the relationship, but Luke wants her back and the fallout causes Jo Rosati to leave 15 Division. He is heartbroken but eventually accepts that Andy doesn't want him back. This is particularly seen when he discovers that Andy and Sam had been seeing each other while he was undercover.
• Melanie Nicholls-King portrays Noelle Williams. Another training officer and veteran of the police force, she hoped to become head of 15 Division but was beaten by Frank Best. She has been trying to get pregnant and was doing hormone injections, however she was caught by Traci who subsequently helped her. In episode 10 of season 2, she and Frank Best kiss, possibly embarking on a relationship. It is revealed in the finale of season 2 that Noelle might be pregnant with Frank Best's child .
• Aidan Devine portrays Sergeant Boyko, head of 15 Division until his departure.

Critical reception

Metacritic summarizes the response as "mixed or average reviews".^[25] One of the more favorable reviews came from Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times, saying "it's not a groundbreaking police drama, nor is it divertingly cheesy. It's well made and well meaning."^[26] Robert Lloyd from the Los Angeles Times was also favorable with the show, and agreed with Stanley describing it as nothing new to television, but he rather enjoyed it and saying "Rookie Blue doesn't oversell itself. It is modest and plain in a way that makes even its less likely moments feel credible enough."^[27] Rob Salem of the Toronto Star favourably compared the series to Grey's Anatomy. "Call it Blues Anatomy (or Gray's Academy, take your pick)." Salem found the show "slickly produced and engagingly acted" and had a particular fondness for Missy Peregrym's character, which he described as "the Meredith surrogate".^[28] The Globe and Mail's television critic, John Doyle, described Rookie Blue as "a good cop show with a terrible title." Doyle went on to say "it's a very slick, glossy melodrama, all handsome actors and admirably sharp storylines. Yet it's true to its Toronto roots."^[29]

Among the more negative reviewers was Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Owen calls the show "Grey's Anatomy in a police station." He did however hope to see some interaction between religion and police through one of the characters but stated "Given the generally bland nature of Rookie Blue, that's probably too much to ask."^[30] Paige Wiser from the Chicago Sun-Times describes the show as overly generic and claims that the rookies look more like puppies than police officers. She said "if you're looking for a new cop drama to serve and protect your entertainment interests, leave the rookies alone to ripen, and go for a ride-along with Jason Lee's Dwight."^[31] Randee Dawn from The Hollywood Reporter was much harsher, calling the writing lazy and describing the motivation of the rookies as selfish, saying that they are there to make themselves feel good and not to protect the city. Dawn said "at its core, Rookie is a terrible show."^[32] Alex Strachan of Montreal's The Gazette was unimpressed, stating that "The acting is uneven, the writing and directing aren't particularly stylish or inspired, and you've seen it countless times before." Strachan went on to say that Rookie Blue is "a harmless enough diversion on another wise (sic) lazy summer TV night."^[33]
