Synopsis / Plot: "Blue Bloods" is a drama from Emmy' award-winning writers of "The Sopranos" about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) is the New York City Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry (Len Cariou), during his stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), a seasoned detective, family man, and Iraqi War vet who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases. The sole Reagan woman in the family, Erin (Bridget Moynahan), is a N.Y. Assistant D.A. and newly single parent, who also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father. Jamie (Will Estes) is the youngest Reagan, fresh out of Harvard Law and the family's "golden boy;" however, unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and is now a newly minted cop. Jamie's life takes an abrupt turn when he's asked to become part of a clandestine police investigation even his father knows nothing about, and one that could impact the family's legacy.

Critics' reviews

"If it pulls off what it seems capable of doing, 'Blue Bloods' should be both a good cop show and an evocative family drama. So something for everyone, just like a good Sunday dinner"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
"'Blue Bloods' enters this rough neighborhood with the right personnel, and, living up to its name, a solid pedigree"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"I know the whole thing sounds been-there-done-that dopey, but Wahlberg and Selleck are so charismatic that somehow, in their hand(cuffs), it all seems almost new. Yes, it's worth the watch (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"The best thing (...) is that it breaks with the nearly 20-year tradition of dark, gritty cop shows (...). The weakest thing is that it can't resist adding a conspiracy story line to its cases-of-the-week structure"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"The plot is unlikely to interfere with the real draw of 'Bloods', which is watching a terrific, mature, extremely well-chosen cast interact (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"It's a rote cop show, but in the last five minutes or so, it hints at something deeper"

Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle
"There's perhaps the coppiest cop show of the century so far, the soppy and self-satirizing CBS melodrama Blue Bloods, about an entire family (...) involved in the crime biz"

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
