This Steven Bochco-produced series pulls few punches in portraying the day-to-day lives of cops in New York's 15th Precinct. Characters' personal lives intertwine with the cases they work, which often deal with the worst elements the city has to offer. Many characters came and went during the show's 12-season run but one constant throughout the series was Det. Andy Sipowicz, portrayed by Dennis Franz.

Eric Mink New York Daily News Most immediately apparent is a change -- a subtle tweaking, it seems to me of the music score running under the first sequence. It plays just a bit harder, a bit tougher, a bit edgier than usual. Aug 15, 2018 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Each of the regulars gets a chance to step into the spotlight, a smart idea for a show that has been away so long.
