Never off duty.

Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.

    What a great show! No propaganda, agenda or any political BS. Characters are very well developed. You care about them, you love them. I really can't say anything bad about this show. It's great. Definitely deserves 10/10!

    I loved this show in the first couple of seasons, and then it started going a bit silly. But I kept watching it as the character development has been such you are keep interested in the characters.

    I strongly believe that this is a propaganda show set up to change peoples perception of the police force (in the US).

    Watching world events/news and US citizens hate the police. And they reasons are perfectly justified (to an outsider of the US). BUT you love these people [police] they are so inherently good and honest and never stand for any corruption. The plots and storylines are so far from reality that it (at times) is totally unbelievable. But none the less, fun to watch.

    The way it navigated through the drama following George Floyd's death was really good. A balance between a need for reform and a need for police. Well done.

    It started off REALLY good, and I was getting into it. It's one of those shows my wife watches that I would reply with "I liked it more when they called it Hillstreet Blues," and then I would joke that "what are they going to call it in season two or three, they didn't think through the title, did they?" But it started growing on me from the start, and it was only teasing. I was actually getting into it.

    And then 2020 happened and it took a HARD left wing turn It fell apart. It took a bit of an ACAB stance, which is awkward in a police drama. It started to do the who leftist lecture thing. The "inappropriate" relationships according to the left broke up. It became crap. So much so that I started calling it "The Wokie."

    But the...
