Season 6 of The Rookie saw Monica Stevens, initially introduced as a lawyer with questionable morals, transform into a full-blown supervillain. While Bridget Regan delivers a strong performance, the transition felt abrupt and unearned, lacking the gradual buildup necessary to make it convincing.

It’s time to talk about Monica Stevens , a character in the hit ABC series, The Rookie , who emerged as the series' big bad in Season 6 . In her initial appearances, Monica came off as a lawyer with dubious morals and a Machiavellian streak. However, her transformation into a full-on supervillain in Season 6 took things too far. Bridget Regan is a tremendous actress, and with Monica's turn to the dark side, the series turned a great antagonistic character into a cartoonish villain.

'The Rookie' Season 6 Poorly Set Up Monica's Transition Into Villainy Season 6 shows Monica acting as a rising information broker in the criminal underworld of Los Angeles. Monica utilizes Dr. Blair London as her mole inside the LAPD and sells the intel from Dr. London's sessions to the criminal underworld. The problem is that Season 6 didn't properly build up the villainous turn for Monica.

Season 7 Needs To Showcase More of Monica's Backstory To give the writers of The Rookie some credit, there is still time to fix the Monica problem in Season 7. Season 6 ended with Monica escaping a shootout in Argentina, so Monica will likely reappear in Season 7. The Rookie must showcase the pivotal events in Monica's life that set her down her current path.
