I'm going to guess they didn't bother screening for feedback about this character because I'm pretty sure everyone that watched The Rookie found her to be extremely over the top and a bit grating. As a rarely seen reoccuring side character she would be fine but there's no way she can hold up an entire show. The actor is doing their job just fine but the way the character is written is just a lot to take.
The Rookie already has a lot of filler episodes so adding a filler spinoff that no one asked for is just a weird choice. That money should have been put into more writers for The Rookie.
This character was and should have always been a bit of mild comic relief every now and then... nothing more.
