You wonder where it is going, but it builds to a brilliant cliff hanger final episode. There is also another pretty heavy storyline featuring guest star Casey Siemesko, (another who played someone completely different in an earlier season), who here plays a bitter and vindictive Internal Affairs officer, Captain Fraker and he is mightily involved and there are some really tense scenes and episodes between him and the new Lieutenant, Rodriguez. One of the highlight episodes however is 'Meat Me In The Park', a terrific episode featuring another child abduction case, but is there more to this case than meets the eye? The climax to this episode is particularly striking, in terms of the way it is done. I won't say any more than that, but it is again four great episodes featuring all of them as well as the main players. It was one of the shows trademarks and it was grown up drama, so I say, get over it.Īpart from that however, this is a great season for Charlotte Ross, (Det Connie McDowel) with more gripping drama involving her sister Michelle, and there is a guest appearance from Nicholas Lea, who plays her brother in law. It still makes me laugh that NYPD Blue (something I learned much later on, years after it went off air), was fined for this excessive nudity scene, but they no doubt paid the fine and thought to hell with it. There is also of course that episode with Charlotte Ross near to the end of the season where she really does treat us to what she is really made of. It has some gripping storylines in this season, particularly the one mainly featuring John Clark Jr near the middle of the season, a three episode arc that will make you want to watch them all in one go!

It came along when the one-hour drama on network television was all but dead it re-defined the look of prime time drama with language and wardrobe (or lack their of), as well as how it was filmed and when you speak with anyone that is or ever has served in law enforcement in this country, they'll tell you it was the best show at capturing "The Job" from a realism and accuracy standpoint. It was why we continued to watch right up until it's triumphant end. ![]() He was a modern-day everyman, and that was why we rooted for him, even when he was in one of those moods. The character of Andy Sipowicz, played by 4 time Emmy winner Dennis Franz, was the most realistic character ever created on television, faults and all. ![]() ![]() It was ground-breaking, and if you missed it from Day One, sure you can buy the DVD's as they come out, but it was so different than anything on TV then, and it changed what we expect out of television dramas.
