And it was one of the worst experiences I ever had, by the way, with a writer.

But the producer, Mark Gordon, was amazing, who also produces The Rookie, funny enough.

And I had to say to them, look, I just got married.

I'm just starting this life with my wife.

I was looking at this last night.

My Netflix has got top 10 watching the UK, the TV show, The Rookie.

Now, there's no way.

I've just started watching The Rookie.

So it's obviously Netflix is going, he's watching this.

Let's see, this is the top 10.

There's no way The Rookie is the top 10 TV shows watching the UK.

I don't know,

system.

So I'm talking about grassroots, like Patrol and My Little Case, but I'm also also talking about the bigger, right? For instance, one of my favorite shows is The Rookie.

And one of the reasons why is, and I'm like, thank you.

Thank you for showing prosecutors and police officers who actually care about their community.
