Forget Tim and Lucy.
The Rookie is a warm and light-hearted series about forty-year-old John Nolan, who decided to make a drastic change in his life, graduated from the police academy and started his career as a cop in Los Angeles from scratch.
The problems of an adult, together with the hardships of the youngest link in the chain of a large team, passed through the main character is a great way to show that it is never too late to quit everything today and start something else tomorrow.
Procedural Series Often Reduce All Male-Female Relationships to Romantic Ones
TV shows like The Rookie almost always have a huge amount of romance – and the audience doesn’t mind, after all, when has a love drama not been exciting? However, sometimes the writers of long-running series bring everyone together one after the other, which starts to get repetitive and boring.
The Rookie is no exception – there are enough love problems here as well, but there is also one couple that comes as a breath of fresh air to the fans, and the relationship between this couple is completely platonic.
Angela & Tim is an Ultimate Platonic Couple that Many Other Shows Don’t Have
And that couple is Angela and Tim.
“With Tim & Angela friendship we have a great opportunity to see great professionals working together and see a bit of drama aside with humor and a more personal side of the two characters. […] So please, writers just give us more, thank you,” Reddit user Violet_K89 wrote.
It doesn’t happen often, but in this case the fans are absolutely unanimous that Tim and Angela’s friendship is without a doubt one of the best things in the whole show. In series like this, it is really rare to see a friendship between a man and a woman – most of the time the writers reduce all relationships to romantic ones in order to add (unnecessary) drama.
It’s touching to see how Tim and Angela have been there for each other for six seasons, during the hardships and in the most difficult situations. But perhaps the sweetest manifestation of these platonic feelings was the fact that Angela made Tim her Man of Honor and how Tim tried his best to arrange the best day of Angela’s life.
He even helped her choose a wedding dress – who has not dreamed of such a level of trust?
