A gritty, realistic look at the life of cops in a large (and unnamed) metropolitan city. Led by Capt. Frank Furillo, the cops of the Hill Street Station kept the peace - though there were plenty of casualties along the way. Focusing more on those within the precinct than on the cases they were trying to solve, "Hill Street Blues" cast of characters featured public defender Joyce Davenport (who later married Furillo), gruff Sgt. Phil Esterhaus (who always cautioned his charges to "be careful out there"), eccentric Lt. Howard Hunter, Officer Lucy Bates and Sgt. Mick Belker (who sometimes resorted to injuring the felons he apprehended).

The quality remains. It's still the best police station drama in television history. Go to Full Review Ed Siegel Boston Globe Jun 15, 2021
The characters are richly drawn -- albeit, by now, too predictable. Like the characters of the show's chief competitor, Knots Landing, they are like family members and friends we enjoy spending some time with once a a week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
