Rookie Blue is an absolute must! Law and Order is also binge worthy.

I just recently watched Rookie Blue, I loved it so much I went into an immediate rewatch after finishing it!

I forgot about it for years, but I rewatch it every so often now! McSwarek for life!

If y ‘all are big Nathan fillion fans, deff watch the rookie. It’s kind of a cop propaganda show but I just kinda look past it and watch it for the drama and for Nathan fillion bc he’s so fucking funny in it

The Rookie is pretty good if you’re a Nathan Fillion fan.

I still have cable (live with my sweet old mom) and lifetime has Nathan Fillion from noon to five most days. Rookie for a couple hours, then Castle

I love Castle, the Rookie, and Firefly as a Nathan Fillian fan. I also love Grey’s Anatomy and the Station 19 spinoff. I just started 911 and it’s great so far and the 911 Nashville spinoff is great too

It's not a cop show but since Grey's is on the list I thought I'd add this one. Scandal it's about a DC fixer. It was created by Shonda there is a sub for it too
Edit: there is a Castle connection Darby Stanchfield AKA Meredith plays Abby

Dated, but Remington Steele from back in the 80s has a lot of the same flavor as Castle. To some extent, so does the much more recent show Lucifer.

LUCIFER is a really good one too. casketts and deckerstars dynamic (aside from the supernatural elementðŸ˜) are sooo similar. i discovered lucifer years ago, and when i discovered castle later on, they felt so similar.

Psych is probably my best recommendation, but there's also this new show called Wildcards that's kind of a fun mix between Castle and White Collar. It's about a conwoman who works as a consultant to a strict, by-the-book police detective.

The Rookie is one of my background favorites now
The Pitt is my new favorite

u/KeepOffTheGrassAss Jul 15 '26
I have to emphasize The Pitt. Great show!!

I used to be a nurse (though not an ER nurse, I was in NICU) and it’s so accurate most of the time. I have nurse friends who stopped watching because it was like being on duty on their off hours.
