As a fan of the later seasons of NYPD Blue [too young to watch it for most of the seasons], I jumped at the chance to own the series. While many of the cases wrapped up entirely too easily, I did enjoy the strong character development, particular Detective Sipowicz's character (played by Dennis Franz). Season 2 opens with David Caruso's character Det. John Kelly leaving,which was indeed a shame, but Jimmy Smits' character Bobby Simone fills the slot nicely. I'd recommend it to any fan of police/detective/mystery shows. While the 'mystery' component is weak, I do enjoy knowing when I'm right, and surprised when another character pops up.
During the time when NYPD Blue was on the air, I worked nights and never got to see it and did not record it. My wife just picked up seasons 1 & 2 and this is a terrific series. I remember it had a reputation and 20 years later, this series has stood the test of time. The writing and characters are fantastic. I'm almost glad I didn't watch Blue back then because despite all the crap that is on now....I have 12 seasons of a classic TV drama to enjoy.

This show is a great show because it has a form that it sticks to. Opens with a crime scene, carries on from there, BUT, There is also the on going stories of the regular characters that are real people, they could be your neighbor or friend. I have watched this show so long, they feel like relatives. This season was the start of the very sexy jimmy smits, He has all the women turning their heads and solves all the crimes. Gotta love this total package. And of course Detective Sipowitz (spelling, I know), such a flawed hero. It looked like he was history in the first episode of the first season, but he pulled through and redeemed himself very nicely. I wouldn't want to be his partner or wife or child however, they rarely do well. LOL. I bought this to fill in my collection which I am still working on. But it, you will love it.Read full review
I, unlike many others, have always liked David Caruso's acting style, and didn't have any problems when he decided to leave the show after only one season. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Jimmy Smits also did his part justice and I enjoyed his performance as well. The show to me though will always be about Dennis Franz. NYPD Blue was always a ground breaking series and it became the classic it was because of Franz stuck with it and continued to build on it each season. Season 2 was even better than the first, more action, mixed with episodes of humour, but never lost it's true calling as a new and different police drama. Highly recommended and I can hardly wait for the rest of the seasons to show up on DVD.
