Rating: - NYPD Blue
The format is great and so is the show. When will they put the rest of the series on DVD??
Rating: - The first three seasons were the best
Seasons 1-3 of NYPD Blue are basically two different shows. Season one plus episodes 1-4 of Season 2 make up the "John Kelly Episodes". During this time, NYPD Blue emphasized the "Blue" part of its title with strong sexual content that was often excessive. With the departure of the central character of the show, detective John Kelly, the entire show had to shift gears. First off, Sherry Stringfield, who played Kelly's ex-wife and primarily acted as a source of John's Catholic guilt over his divorce, essentially had nothing to do after his departure, and was thus written out of the show. Likewise for officer Janice Licalsi (Amy Brenneman), who was John's lover during the first season. She is given a light prison sentence for her part in the killing of a mobster, and never heard from again.
Thus, from episode 5 of season 2 through season 3, we basically have a brand new show with more emphasis placed on the character development of Andy Sipowicz as well as the solving of individual cases. Over the next few years Sipowicz is transformed from the alcoholic, bigotted, less-than-adequate detective we see in the pilot to an admirable man with a somewhat tarnished halo. Also, Andy's new partner, and the actor with star billing, detective and widower Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) is introduced. Simone has a less hectic personal life than his predecessor Kelly, as well as a less hard-boiled approach to the job. Towards the end of the second season, Simone starts a romance with detective Diane Russell ... Read More
Rating: - NYPD Blue - we miss you.
Great script, great acting, great directing. It was a bit hectic - but that's the way it was supposed to be. Most of the "music" was unfortunate. 12 Years was not enough!
