Well, I have to say, I really enjoyed the pilot episode of Blue Bloods. It has a great cast, some good writing, and the cinematography is wonderful. Blue Bloods is definitely the best of all the new cop shows premiered this season.

I will have to agree with the originality gripe I read on another review. The show would do well without it. Making it about the family more than the crimes is the key winner here. No need to muck it up with conspiracies. However, it has been introduced and we'll have to ride it out.

If you are looking for a new show to watch, I highly recommend Blue Bloods. Nice job.

This is an amazing show, that has great stories, great actors and is always relevant. Watching the world through the lens of the family is a great take on what is happening in the world, and helps to show what great police can be.

Jamie and Danny want Erin to bend the law and go nuts when she won't. Danny acts like a walking temper tantrum. Nearly every dinner they have to bicker with each other. The drink in a bar, they drink in a restaurant, they drink at the dinner table,and they drink in the evening. I'm surprised it's not a show about an alcoholic cop family. The show needs new writers since the ones they have seem stuck in a rut.
