Some Fans of Blue Bloods Are Happy To See This Character Less on the Show
TV shows about law enforcement are plentiful. For decades, audiences have been fascinated with the life of the badge, from long-running staples like “NYPD Blue” and “Law & Order” to gritty, suspense-filled shows like “The Shield” and “Southland.” While many of these shows may appear to be too similar in style and story, their casts set them apart.
“Blue Bloods,” a New York-based police drama, is no exception. The combination of beat cop storylines in the vein of “Southland,” the detective whodunit angle of “NYPD Blue,” the court proceedings of “Law & Order,” and a somewhat more original political angle all in one family distinguishes this show.
“Blue Bloods” follows the Reagans, a military family comprised of Henry, the patriarch and former police commissioner played by Len Cariou, Frank, Henry’s son and current police commissioner played by Tom Selleck, and their three children. As the family navigates law enforcement in New York City, Donnie Wahlberg plays Danny the detective, Bridget Moynahan plays Erin the prosecutor, and Will Estes plays Jamie the beat cop.
While the characters are the series’ lifeblood, not all of them are “Blue Bloods” fan favorites, and one of the show’s departures has pleased some fans.
