“Rookie Blue” was created by Morwyn Brebner, Tassie Cameron, and Ellen Vanstone, and first premiered in the Global network in Canada and ABC in the US on June 24, 2010.
Set in Toronto, the series follows the lives of five rookie cops from 15 Division who have just graduated from the police academy. Now that training’s over, their real life begins as police officers.
They must learn to deal with their duties as police officers as well as handle the problems and expectations of their respective families and friends.
The rookie cops eventually learned that as first responders, no amount of training prepares them for life or what’s in store ahead of them in the line of duty, anchored on their mandate to serve, protect, and not screw up.
“Rookie Blue” has been described by TV critics as the “Grey’s Anatomy” in the world of rookie cops.
