All the way through The Rookie‘s seven aired seasons and 126 episodes, the display has definitely launched many memorable episodes, but additionally has some duds that don’t seem to be value gazing. The ABC police procedural collection, created via Alexi Hawley, has been a good fortune for the community since its premiere in 2018. Regardless of its achievements (nice scores, sure critiques, longevity, and so forth.), despite the fact that, no longer the whole thing has been best. However maximum TV presentations have produced mediocre episodes that audience wish to omit. The excellent news is that The Rookie does not have many, however there are nonetheless a handful that fanatics can skip over on a rewatch.
The Rookie‘s absolute best episodes which can be must-watches vary from “Day of Loss of life” in season 2 to “Wildfire” in season 7. Those are examples that turn out that after the ABC collection is excellent, it is in point of fact excellent. Then again, for each “Greenlight” (from season 1), there’s a debatable true crime documentary episode or a middle-of-the-season episode this is utterly inconsequential and uninteresting. Out of all of the ones, The Rookie has 10 that do not wish to be considered to grasp what is going on within the display.

The Rookie Season 3, Episode 7
“True Crime”
As discussed above, The Rookie‘s true crime documentary episodes are a supply of competition amongst fanatics. Many abhor them, whilst others love that they have got develop into a convention. However, nobody can deny that the majority of these kinds of episodes don’t seem to be vital for a rewatch, beginning with the first actual one — The Rookie season 3, episode 7, “True Crime.”

I Cannot Consider I am Announcing This, However The Rookie Season 8 Should Convey Again Season 7’s Maximum Unbearable Personality For Nolan’s Sake
Heading into The Rookie season 8, it’s crucial that the display deliver again one personality, regardless of how irritating they have been in season 7.
The Rookie‘s first true crime documentary episode options Frankie Muniz guest-starring as Corey Harris, a former kid big name (very similar to the actor himself) who turns into a cult chief (in contrast to the actor). The hour tells the tale similar to a Netflix true crime documentary would. It makes use of other digicam paintings, together with frame cameras and surveillance pictures. Whilst some may revel in this taste, many do not and simply need The Rookie to stick at the path that made it a success within the first position, together with me.

The Rookie Season 4, Episode 14
“Lengthy Shot”
Whilst Flula Borg’s Skip Tracer Randy is definitely a memorable Rookie personality, a few of his episodes are reasonably forgettable, together with “Lengthy Shot” in season 4. From starting to finish, the episode is a blur. I will’t let you know something that took place that had a long lasting (or perhaps a medium-lasting) impact at the collection. Even the aspect tales do not subject. So, until one is a Skip Tracer Randy superfan, “Lengthy Shot” is likely one of the episodes of The Rookie that audience can omit. Those that love Borg’s personality may need to sit down this one out, too, as he has quite a few different nice appearances.
8
The Rookie Season 4, Episode 19
“Simone”
Whilst Niecy Nash-Betts’ The Rookie: Feds personality, Simone Clark, is arguably overhated and merits recognize, if new and outdated fanatics don’t seem to be making plans on gazing the by-product, they may be able to skip over its backdoor pilot within the guardian collection. The Rookie season 4, episode 19, tells Simone’s starting place tale and units up Feds. It options probably the most different characters that make up the by-product’s major solid.
So, a lot of what occurs all the way through the hour does not have an effect on the unique display find it irresistible does the offshoot. In the long run, “Simone” is best intriguing in case you revel in Nash-Betts’ personality or in case you are making plans on gazing The Rookie: Feds. If no longer, it is not very important.
7
The Rookie Season 4, Episode 20
“Enervo”
Since The Rookie: Feds‘ backdoor pilot is a two-parter, audience can breeze previous The Rookie season 4, episode 20, as smartly. It merely caps off the occasions of the primary part and continues laying the groundwork for Simone’s first authentic day on the FBI within the by-product (which ABC unfortunately canceled after just one season). In consequence, in case you breeze previous “Simone,” you should not have to observe “Enervo,” both. Actually, it will be moderately complicated if one best watched one or the opposite.
6
The Rookie Season 5, Episode 18
“Double Hassle”
Some may benefit from the Adventures of Dim and Juicy, however after Tim and Lucy were given in combination in The Rookie, their doppelgängers by no means had to seem once more. Sadly, the display’s writers did not get that memo. The truth that (what will have to be) a down-to-earth police procedural collection even has doppelgängers in their most well liked characters within the first position is one thing I’d moderately omit. It additionally does not lend a hand that “Double Hassle” is one among The Rookie‘s debatable true crime episodes.
“Double Hassle” it appears that evidently wasn’t memorable or vital to the display as a complete.
Nonetheless, Dim and Juicy returned in The Rookie season 5, episode 18, for one reason why or every other. In truth, I do not consider why, and I do not want to. “Double Hassle” it appears that evidently wasn’t memorable or vital to the display as a complete. No person requested for Dim and Juicy’s go back, however we were given them anyway. At the brilliant aspect, fanatics do not wish to watch “Double Hassle” a moment time (if they do not wish to, after all).
5
The Rookie Season 6, Episode 3
“Hassle In Paradise”
While The Rookie‘s one hundredth episode (season 6, episode 2) was once one for the books, the hour after it was once the exact opposite. “Hassle in Paradise” tracks Nolan and Bailey’s honeymoon at a secluded lodge. Sadly, not anything can ever pass completely for the couple, even after their wedding ceremony was once virtually a crisis, as they’re quickly put to paintings at the island when a lifeless frame washes ashore.
Then, the hour all however turns right into a horror film. Total, The Rookie season 6, episode 3, does not fit the display’s tone and is moderately creepy, one thing I do not want to watch once more as anyone who will get scared simply. Lucy additionally takes the detective’s examination all the way through the hour, which is vital. Then again, one can find out about that during a easy “Up to now On” phase within the subsequent episode.
4
The Rookie Season 6, Episode 7
“Beaten”
Following Tim and Lucy’s heartbreaking breakup in The Rookie season 6, episode 6, it is protected to mention that the fallout from Chenford’s break up is not precisely amusing to observe. It is a lot more straightforward to fast-forward to the fewer hurtful stuff when rewatching the collection. No less than, “Beaten” ends with Tim in remedy (although his therapist works with Monica Stevens). Instead of that, not anything else that occurs in The Rookie season 6, episode 7, is value reliving.
3
The Rookie Season 7, Episode 3
“Out Of Pocket”
The Rookie season 7 definitely had some prime moments (the midseason finale, Liam Glasser’s advent, and so forth.). Then again, it additionally incorporates many episodes that I would not wish to watch ever once more, beginning with “Out of Pocket.” Two issues occur all the way through the 3rd episode that make it wholly irritating — Rachel Corridor (Lucy’s pal and Tim’s ex-girlfriend) returns for some reason why, and Nolan by no means faces penalties for his reckless movements.

There was once reputedly no level for Rachel to go back in The Rookie season 7, episode 3. It did not additional Tim and Lucy’s will-they/received’t-they get again in combination storyline; it merely gave the target market an replace on Rachel’s lifestyles that nobody wanted. She may have by no means gave the impression within the season, and it don’t have made a distinction. As for Nolan, his movements with Malvado have been idiotic and threatening. Lieutenant Gray will have to’ve reprimanded him, a minimum of. In the long run, “Out of Pocket” left me indignant, and I might moderately no longer undergo that once more.

The Rookie Season 7, Episode 15
“A Fatal Secret”
The Rookie season 7, episode 15 is the 3rd true crime documentary episode in this checklist, and it is arguably the worst one. Its thriller was once convoluted and no longer attention-grabbing within the slightest. Moreover, Tim and Lucy’s extremely expected communicate in regards to the state in their courting occurs most commonly offscreen and thru frame digicam pictures whilst the 2 are caught in a room and prime. It was once disappointing, to mention the least. The one excellent portions of “A Fatal Secret” have been Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej’s cameos and Liam Glasser’s teased go back, however each have been temporary sufficient to make the episode a skip.

The Rookie Season 7, Episode 17
“Mutiny And The Bounty”
The Rookie season 7’s penultimate episode was once one of the most display’s maximum forgettable installments. It lacked intrigue and did little to arrange the finale. Sure, fan-favorite personality Skip Tracer Randy returns in “The Mutiny and the Bounty,” however his movements all the way through the hour are so irritating. It could be absolute best if the episode have been forgotten altogether.
The Rookie season 8 will not premiere till early 2026, in line with TVLine. It’ll comprise 18 episodes that air weekly with out a interruptions, with a imaginable exception or two, relying on outdoor components (very similar to how season 7 performed out).
The Rookie season 7, episode 17’s storylines outdoor of Skip Tracer Randy also are inconsequential (for probably the most section). Wesley’s arc with Sean Del Monte comes suddenly, and Angela and Nyla’s case is not all that spell binding. Lucy handed the sergeant’s examination on the finish of “The Mutiny and the Bounty,” however that tidbit might be simply discovered within the season 7 finale. In consequence, fanatics should not have to observe The Rookie season 7’s second-to-last episode on a rewatch.
