NYPD Blue Season 1

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

22 Years later the power of the writing and the acting still ring true. It is an honest excellence that was groundbreaking for its time and is free of the “trying too hard” unwatchable quality of many of today’s wannabe TV drama series. I was once again completely engrossed in this series after the Pilot. This is a gripping and emotional story that could use another viewing by people trying to understand the ageless issue of good cops and and the few bad apples that ruin it for the thin blue line. It also highlights the ageless problem of the code of silence that exits today 49 years after Serpico. On another note, this series underscores the brilliance of online streaming. I missed so many episodes of this weekly series due to work and buggy VCR’s back in the 90’s when this originally aired. It also reminds me of the good old days when you actually received over 48 minutes of programming per hour. The extra 5 minutes this series has over today’s series is perhaps an unfair advantage. The excellent Law & Order series run just over 43 minutes. Juxtaposed, the excellent Law & Order series become almost unwatchable with its abrupt and now seemingly contrived transitions. This trip down memory lane is made even more entertaining by the appearance of many of today’s well known actors often making their TV debuts in this series. This would make a great drinking game for NYPD Blue parties.-BK
