   Aside from the killer lineup of characters with background and depth. Ie: Single mom, widowed husband, I kind of miss the family of tv shows that you'd like to know what happens to them. Likewise, a cops family? Who the hell knows about that and where in TV has that been the focus. The family has always been the force- that hasn't changed. This "family" focus is both interesting and genuinely likable. The power plays of police plaza and city hall join well in a relationship of trust- if it were only that easy! I have hopes for next season.… Expand

   Blue Bloods should have been called: Red, White, and Blue Bloods. We get to see a weekly family gathering of the middle class elite family; we get to see a tough, no nonsense cop (Wahlberg who inexplicably talks Brooklyn-ese while the rest of his family doesn't), roust the bad guys and get to do the obligatory cop show routine of sneering contemptuously at the perps. We get to see his sister, a Prosecutor, do more detective work than legal work, and some cute kids. In this years opener we get to watch the prosecutor sister try and sweep a murder rap under the carpet in order to not "shame" her best friend. Would she do the same for anybody else? Is she challenged by her upright family? Well in an "aw shucks" way. She dodges a bullet because the new mayor wants the case sanitized way more than she does, and the commissioner father (Tom Selleck with nary a gray hair at age 66; how does he do it?) gives his daughter a by but not the mayor. I guess blood is thicker than water. And they also get to drop in little anti liberal jabs so that we get the message that these guys vote the straight Republican ticket.… Expand

   The only thing good about this show is that you quickly feel for the characters right from the start. But is that enough to keep the show afloat? I don't think so. The premise is borderline ridiculous - a single NY family consisting of the NY police commissioner, a former NY police commissioner, a DA attorney, a detective, and a beat cop. Oh and they're Irish. Let's be real ok? Every episode is stand-alone. The stories don't require more than one episode to start and finish. Apart from the weak ongoing Blue Templar theme, which in my opinion just doesn't grab the viewer enough to maintain interest in the show. If they don't pick up the pace with the writing, I doubt that the great ensemble of characters and their stellar performances will be enough to keep this show afloat for another season. I'm quickly losing interest.… Collapse
