I know I'm a little late to the party with this one, but I have to say how much I enjoyed this first season of Blue Bloods. And the good news for me is that there are at least another 10 seasons left available for me to sit back, chill out, and watch! I know that some would argue that the set-up of this New York police drama is far-fetched. I mean we have a NY Police Commissioner, Frank Reagan, who has two sons, one a detective, one a patrol officer. Frank also has a daughter, who is an assistant D.A, and a father who is a retired, former Commissioner. If you add in the fact that all of these family members regularly (most episodes) sit down together for dinner, and often find themselves attached to the same investigations, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's an implausible scenario that won't work - but it does! After all, this is that parallel universe aka TV world, where life is portrayed slightly different to what we daily see around us - and that's fine by me, I watch this for the escapism it provides.
The superb acting, the strong script, and the setting of New York City make this a winning combination. I particularly like how the characters, and their situations develop as the series progresses. Most of the 'cases' are perhaps tied up a little too neatly and conveniently within each episode, but that in no way diminishes my admiration for this cracking drama. Also, I'm as open-minded as the next man, but I like the 'comfort' of watching a drama that tackles some difficult issues, and deals with the darker side of human nature, yet does it without the need to include gratuitous violence, or bad language (so not an F-bomb in sight). As for the actors, well they are all spot on, although Tom Selleck as Commissioner Regan, and Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Danny Regan give stand-out performances in my opinion.
This box-set contains 22 episodes, and let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them. If you're seeking your next American cop drama, look no further - get your teeth into this 1st season of Blue Bloods and, like me, you'll soon be hooked!
Many thanks for checking out my review, I hope you found it of use. 🎬📽📺=😊
