YMMV / Rookie Blue

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Gail mentions in the season 2 finale that lesbians all have terrible handwriting and that they all are always hitting on her. Come season 5 and Gail is now out of the closet as a lesbian herself.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Kevin Ford in Season 4, sometime after being harnessed by Marlo. Originally a suspected pedophile and questioned over the disappearance of a young boy, Marlo had followed and stalked him in her off time. However, when he is attacked by a nearby father who suspected him, Ford goes off the deep end in the Season 4 two-part finale. Having formed a hit list, he fires at officers in board daylight, and injures one officer (who may or may not have brain damage among other injuries). He captures Oliver who pleas for him not to go through with any of his plans, whilst Ford states that his father abused him when he was little and also wishing having killed a few more cops on his list. And luring most of the police station into a decoy trap into rescuing Oliver, Ford returns to the police station, dressed as a cop, with the intent of killing of one of the officers of his hit list. Though he doesn't quite shoot him, Ford shoots at and possibly kills Sam. While his backstory is justifiable, his actions of killing those involved in his arrest is not.
  • The Scrappy: It is not very hard not to hate the new rookie in Season 5, Duncan Moore, for being an inept rookie. And given the fact his godfather is the commissioner of the police, his job was handed to him. Then again, this may be exactly what the creators were going for...
  • Take That, Scrappy!: After Jo blows up Andy and Luke's lives, and has the audacity to insist to Luke, whose broken engagement, due to Jo callously revealing to Andy that they slept together, is still weighing down hard on his heart, that she, not Andy is the "One that Got Away", after undermining both him and Andy since her return to Division 15, Luke telling her bluntly that she was and is his biggest mistake he's ever made, and for her to leave, is quite delicious.
