Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Oct 27
There’s nothing groundbreaking about the format, but that’s exactly why the show will be comforting to the procedural seekers out there who just want to know what kind of a cop drama they’re getting into. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal Oct 22
If you miss it, it’s OK, because the writing is such that the storyline gets reintroduced after every commercial break. Go to Full Review

3/5
Regardless of how entertaining it is, Boston Blue feels like the next level in "copaganda." Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Oct 22
The first episode of Boston Blue twists itself into storytelling knots to get Donnie Wahlberg’s Blue Bloods character working with the Boston PD, and the way the Silver family is constructed feels equally as contrived. Go to Full Review

Lisa H 1d Not sure why audience score is so low. We like the show and we always love Wahlberg. Give it a chance. Hard not to compare with NYPD blue but I think it’s still a good show See more Juju J Nov 30 Unwatchable! Terrible writing and acting. The music is annoying. And what happened to Mark Wahlberg’s hair?? See more Chris M Nov 27 Unwatchable…watched first three episodes… very disappointing.. everything seems to be forced to fit some kind of correctness narrative .. not at all believable.. bring back Blue Bloods. See more Peter E Nov 27 I love Blue Bloods. I re-watched the whole series from start to finish. I was so elated to find out that Boston Blue was spun off Blue Bloods. I watched the first four episodes of Boston Blue. At first it was wonderful to se Danny Regans boy become a policeman, then to see his aunti(Bridget Moynahan) show up at the hospital. Everything afterwords was downhill. Just because Blue Bloods had a family get together dinner scene, it looks like the producer of Boston Blue had to copy the same. Now it was a cocktail of Judaism with Evangelical. On a 1 to 10 on the Cringe Meter it was a 20! Then all the DEI hires showed up. Anywhere and everywhere. They couldn't find a tough policeman in Boston so they had to import him from New York. If this program is to be successful, they need to drop the family dinner with the religious cocktail nonsense (notice I avoided using any reference to bovine products), they should eliminate 50% of the DEIs, get some tough Bostonian policemen on board and come up with original stories and conflicts. I personally will NOT watch Boston Blue until season 2 E1 is aired, then I will evaluate if there is any improvement on S1. Good luck. But for now Boston Blue scores minus 10 on a scale of 0 to 10!!! See more Thoki T @Thokozani Nov 24 Too much of an agenda per usual unfortunately. Sad because Sonequa needed this role and is a pretty good actress for the right characters. See more Adam G. @AsFarAsYouKnow Nov 24 Maggie Lawson and her character fall flat. The Shabbat dinner scenes suck. Overall, the show fails to capture the intensity or authenticity of Blue Bloods, despite its Boston setting. See more Read all reviews
