Tom Selleck stars as Frank Reagan, the New York Police Commissioner, and patriarch of the Reagan clan, a multigenerational family of cops. Frank's oldest son is Danny, a seasoned detective and Iraqi War veteran who occasionally uses dubious tactics to solve cases. Daughter Erin, the lone female, is an assistant district attorney. Fresh out of Harvard Law, Jamie is the youngest member and "golden boy" of the family. Jamie gave up a lucrative future in law to continue the family's tradition in police work, and is asked to participate in a secretive investigation that even his father does not know about.

Andy Bailey The Hollywood Reporter Mar 29, 2019
"Blue Bloods" excels through its high-tone production values...and standout performances from Selleck and Wahlberg, whose moral ambiguity and thinly veiled powder-keg fury...promises to fuel the series through a gripping first season. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club Jan 25, 2019
This feels different than what you expect on other shows of this sort, and that should be encouraged. I can't recommend Bloods right now, though. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club Jan 25, 2019
Blue Bloods' pilot is good, but it's not good enough to remove that small, nagging doubt that this will all end poorly. Go to Full Review Michelle Carlbert TV Equals Jan 25, 2019
What I dug about Blue Bloods was the fact that on one hand it's a family drama, but on the other it's a crime drama. I wasn't sure how well those two things would mix, but they did it very well. Go to Full Review Michael Crider Screen Rant Jan 25, 2019
So, is Blue Bloods good enough? For the most part, yes. While certainly not the best procedural out there, it's better than the lions share, and certainly the best on CBS at the moment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff R. @jberga1969 Nov 1, 2025 Great show! Great action and charter development. See more Paloma B @Paloma67 Jul 23, 2024 at first I thought I wouldn't like it, considering it looked like any other cop show, but I ended up falling in love with it! Like I have a total brainrot for this show now, can't stop thinking about it and what will happen to the characters. Seriously the characters are my absolute favorite part of the show. My fav is Maria, and I'm really hoping to see her end up with Danny. If not now, maybe in some possible Blue Bloods-spinoff. Can't believe CBS decided to cancel such a gem of a show. See more Eric G @Eric_Griffin Mar 16, 2024 I love this show! Great characters, great story lines, and an honest portrayal of the controversy surrounding the police. See more Paul D @LVHothead Dec 14, 2023 Boilerplate, by the numbers, predictable cop show. I tried hard to stay with this series, but I kept falling asleep. Tom Selleck has turned into the Big Giant Head from Mork and Mindy. See more Andy S @readyfestivespirit Aug 11, 2023 (I'm Mistletoe Virus I'm saying I like this show!) I have nothing but love for this show. Not only it is a cop show, it is family loyalty show too. See more scott d @Dillon55 Dec 30, 2021 I have watched since the first show. It is the best show on TV. See more Read all reviews
