A juvenile counselor that quits the first day and has to be tracked down because she is immature and doesnt tell the staff........and she is juvenile counselor?!?!Other recruits that say it has been their life dream to be a deputy but the very first day they dont know the material they were given to study weeks before?and their physical training, are they not told about the physical requirements beforehand?The training should be tougher and they need to be more strict, being a deputy is an honor not just some other job.

It is interesting to actually see the training police officers go through, but I found it quite unimpressive and as a result quite boring. Much of what is being asked of the officers in training on this show seems far from hard and yet everything they do is portrayed as a character testing obstacle to over come and as a result the show comes across as histrionic. Watching this show gives me the same feeling I'd get from watching a mentally handicapped person overzealously struggle with a simple math problem which for them will be an impressive feat. For example, if you can only do say 5 push ups then how can you expect to be a police officer (at least I hope that's not an unreasonable expectation).While I have not been in the military, I imagine what they do on this show is nothing compared to boot camp. I have however done martial arts and my instructors took a completely stupid and unnecessarily militaristic approach to belt testing that was about 7 times as intense as what's going on in this show. For example, instead of just yelling at us to make us look stupid when we made mistakes they'd also hit us. If the people on this show had to recite police information while simultaneously exercising and getting hit for their mistakes then I'd have sympathy.

it's good to know that hazing in the development of law enforcement has not left. this is probably why some law enforcement feel the need to haze and verbally abuse citizens who don't have the same perspective on morals and life in general. March of the pigs.

The Academy actually teaches us some hard truths and inspires us. When Miley says "You gotta learn how to fight through things!", wow, that was so simple and so profound. Can't wait for new episodes.

Can anyone tell me what is happening to the most updated episodes of The Academy? And why they are not updating
