Limitless
Brian Finch discovers the brain-boosting power of the mysterious drug NZT and is coerced by the FBI into using his extraordinary cognitive abilities to solve complex cases for them. Working closely with Brian is Special Agent Rebecca Harris, a formidable investigator with a dark past, and Special Agent Boyle, a former military officer and Rebecca's confidante. They report to Special Agent in Charge Nasreen "Naz" Pouran, a canny manipulator of the reins of power. Unbeknownst to the FBI, Brian also has a clandestine relationship with Senator Edward Morra, a presidential hopeful and regular user of NZT who has plans of his own for his new protégé. Fueled now with a steady supply of NZT that enables him to use 100% of his brain capacity, Brian is more effective than all of the FBI agents combined, making him a criminal's worst nightmare and the greatest asset the Bureau has ever possessed.
In the vast landscape of television dramas, one show stands out for its unique premise and compelling storytelling - 'The Rookie'. Set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), this American police procedural crime drama spins an engaging tale around John Nolan, a man in his forties who chooses to embark on a new career as a police officer. After a life-altering incident, he becomes LAPD's oldest rookie and has to navigate skepticism from higher-ups who perceive him as just another midlife crisis.
'The Rookie' isn't just about solving crimes; it’s about resilience, personal growth and humor amidst adversity. It offers viewers an immersive experience by focusing not only on the professional challenges that come with being a cop but also on how these challenges seep into the characters' personal lives. The protagonist's determination and sense of humor provide him an edge over his fellow rookies who are much younger and less experienced in life.
The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Nathan Fillion as John Nolan. Fillion delivers a strong performance as the likable but flawed hero, making viewers root for him throughout his journey. Other noteworthy performances include Melissa O'Neil as Lucy Chen, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez among others. Each character adds depth to the storyline with their unique personalities and individual struggles.

I really liked this. It was a shame it was cancelled. Something a bit different.
