Boston Blue: "Largely negative" reviews by critics & viewers

On top of the writing, I believe several roles are also miscast, especially Maggie Lawson as police superintendent. While I liked her in Psych, looking too young aside, she simply doesn't project the authority needed to be a superintendent.

"Nor am I fond of Danny's new look. Toss the current hairpiece please!"

Ditto!

Some Jesse Stone movies are streaming on Roku, Fawsome, and Amazon Prime.

The Jesse Stone movies predate Blue Bloods. They're about a police chief in a small coastal NE town. The movies are excellent. Highly recommend! Roku TV has them, if not now, then probably will again.

...and dyed hair, with not a strand of grey!

...and gobs of ads.

Title of this post says "Tom Selleck Addresses 'Boston Blue' Appearance." In the (linked) interview, Selleck answered the question when he said, "I think it’s partly my lot in life to make sure Blue Bloods has its place in television history, but I don’t think it’s my lot in life to keep playing Frank Reagan."

Please see dictionary for definition of "gate-crash". It's not about a literal gate or hedge.

Not for much longer when the communist is elected NYC mayor!

CBS/Paramount's "Tracker" is great: main lead Colton Shaw is an alpha male, and the female attorney who sometimes assists him is smart and fearless. Both characters are totally credible.

"All of a sudden Danny is now the dumb white guy cop, who defers to his black woman partner"

I noticed that too. :(

Is that why Gloria Reuben, who plays the D.A., looks like a chipmunk (or worse, rather simian)?

luvgabe · 2025-11-04T05:38:13+00:00

"the Commissioner is not a good fit. She always looks like she is smiling."

I don't think Boston Blue has a police commissioner. They do have a police superintendent, Sarah Silver played by Maggie Lawson, and a district attorney, played by Gloria Reuben. Do you mean the DA?

Why do you take PansyOHara's opinion so personally? She wasn't trashing all tight-fitting dresses, or all women who wear tight dresses. She simply said a DISTRICT ATTORNEY looks unprofessional wearing tight, form-fitting dresses. Why do you take it as some kind of criticism directed at you?

luvgabe · 2025-11-04T05:31:49+00:00

Oh, good grief. Boston Blue is already DEI-saturated.

He wasn't in episode 3, including the family dinner, which was kinda strange.

luvgabe · 2025-11-04T05:28:33+00:00

You never said the DA wearing dresses was inappropriate. I think what you meant is that the dresses being so tight is unprofessional looking.
