Sometimes, the best thing a show can do is deliver exactly what the viewers want — nothing more, nothing less. And that’s just what CBS does with Boston Blue. .... Lena and Danny quickly settle into a comfortable rhythm — as does the show. Read full review

Each series, not necessarily because they’re female forward, which they are, has a sentimental streak — an impulse toward kindness any cop show, or actual police department, can use. Each is built closely and efficaciously along the lines of their respective motherships, which is to say, crowds will be pleased. I have no complaints myself. .... Rambunctious series.

Ultimately, it's a solid debut for Boston Blue. Despite the immense pressure, and frankly, skepticism, it's a good way to start a new show that is part of a known franchise — by balancing nostalgia and fresh content. At the very least, it's worth tuning again to next week. Read full review

“Boston Blue” is following the exact formula as “Blue Bloods,” for better or worse. Whether the show has the success of its predecessor will depend on the emotional factor of the crimes and criminal cases the characters face in their law enforcement work. Read full review

If you miss it, it’s OK, because the writing is such that the storyline gets reintroduced after every commercial break. Read full review
