Tonight, the end was here for “Blue Bloods” season 5, and the question from the start of the episode was this: How far would Danny go to get revenge after the shooting? While Linda ended up making it through the episode all right, the idea of her even being put in harm’s way was enough […]
Family dinner on “Blue Bloods” is typically the one thing that you can look forward to every Friday night and we love it because it shows us that no matter how difficult their jobs or lives are they still have a some what stable life once their day ends. However, even that was in a state […]
For whatever reason, there is something comforting about Frank Reagan’s consistency on “Blue Bloods.” Even when you know how he is going to react in a given moment, you still like to see put down the hammer of the law. Sometimes, it is not always easy for him, and that includes trying to do the […]
What is the real meaning of ethics in journalism? This is the story that came up and took center stage on “Blue Bloods” Friday night. In many ways, “Through the Looking Glass” was a story about perspective. Everyone had one, and they often tried to enforce their opinion on others. For example, you had the […]
“Blue Bloods” has taken on a variety of challenges in its storytelling throughout its five-season run, but incorporating the Restorative Justice program is still a big risk to take.

It had an important series of cases at the center of it, but also had rare moments of introspection for Frank, Danny being a hero, and a pretty perfect ending where the Reagans reminded each other of […]
“Blue Bloods” is a show that tackles difficult subjects on an almost weekly basis, and with that, you really cannot be that surprised by what they chose to touch on during some of Friday night’s episode. The psychology of a police officer is a difficult thing. More often than not, we see these characters on […]
We have definitely seen a variety of surprises on “Blue Bloods” over the years, but we really did not get the sense that tonight’s “The Poor Door” was about that sort of thing at all. This was more of a softer, emotional episode about redemption, but also some of the class issues that plague New […]
Sometimes, what “Blue Bloods” excels at is being the relatable cop show. We have a hard time becoming attached to cop series that tend to rely heavily on goofy catch-phrases, cases that involve the characters going undercover, or defusing giant explosions every week.
