Critic Reviews
Apr 3, 2013
Season 1 Review:
While the music of Mike Post makes its insistent point, complementing Franz's fine crafting of a hyper-real portrait of a public servant that's effective in a heightened way, NYPD's overall impact is all too self-consciously wrought to engender quieter, deeper aspects that would truly flesh out the fictional lives assayed here. [21 Sept 1993]

Season 1 Review:
In no way does NYPD Blue even approach the brilliance of Barry Levinson's police drama, "Homicide," which aired briefly last spring and still could return. So if you exercise your right to change the channel when it comes on, you won't be missing greatness. [19 Sept 1993, p.7F]

Season 4 Review:
"NYPD Blue" is no longer cutting-edge TV. ... It has become a soap. [14 Oct 1996]

Season 1 Review:
The show is a mixed bag. The story line is formulaic, but the
dark tone is skillfully shaded in gray. The approach to sex is
basically gratuitous, sexist, and tiresome - more banal male
fantasies. The handling of violence is at least concerned with
consequences. There are too many stock characters, and the speedy
pace is manipulative, but the camera work is excellent in the
pilot, and the character development of the show's protagonist is
one of the most interesting ever created for a weekly cop show. [21 Sept 2003, p.13]
