11 seasons
I've been working on this for quite awhile. Tom Selleck is the patriarch of a NYC law enforcement family. He plays Frank Reagan, police commissioner. His father was commissioner before him, one son is a detective, one a former lawyer now uniformed officer, one a killed on the job officer and a daughter who is a prosecutor in the DA office. At times preachy, at times sappy, but still a solid police procedural. The family famously has dinner every Sunday together and that is where the "moral of the story" flies. For me, the glue that holds this entire series together is Donnie Wahlberg (Danny Reagan) oldest son and detective. He is the down to earth, imperfect, perfectly played character that the series needs. He is the only one that finds the right balance. Overall, think NYPD Blue crossed with Touched by an Angel.
4 stars (out of 5)
