The show follows the lives of the multi-generational Reagan family and their dedication to the New York City Police Department. Although being a tight-knit family, you may find that the Reagans have very different ideas of how to gain justice.

Season 1 Review: This is a solid hour that feels perfectly attuned to the CBS lineup, although it's less formulaic than what you usually find on Fridays. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The best new cop drama of a TV season that has more police than a presidential motorcade. Blue Bloods doesn't have the best time slot on TV, but it's got some of the strongest characters and performances. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Blue Bloods showcases a surprising amount of character-driven storytelling. The potential police department conspiracy pushes Blue Bloods into more sudsy territory than necessary, but at least this show marks another attempt by CBS, following "The Good Wife" last year, to expand its offerings beyond paint-by-number crime dramas.

Season 1 Review: What is there in the premiere of Blue Bloods is the aforementioned cast, which also includes Will Estes ("Reunion," "American Dreams") and Len Cariou ("Damages"), and some sharply written and acted scenes between the family members. Those more than make up for a pretty standard-issue case in the premiere. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Forgive the pun, but this brass needs polishing. The Green/Burgess team is one of TV's best and we hope they'll make this show as sharp and compelling as it should be. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's a rote cop show, but in the last five minutes or so, it hints at something deeper. Read full review

Best show on TV for me. ONLY show highlighting and emphasizing the ethical and moral dilemmas real police work at multiple levels. No other show I knows of dares to enter these waters and does it so well. Consistently well written and well acted.

Started off great the first few seasons but it quickly became boring and political. Yawn!
