Blue Bloods - CBS *Spoilers*

Shame, I really like it

Very true actually. I did think they’d developed the next generation with Danny’s sons and Erin’s daughter but latest I see is one of the sons is heading towards becoming a cop himself and I’ve a feeling I remember Erin’s daughter is becoming a lawyer so no change there. I think it would have been great if the long lost nephew was a less than squeaky clean character or had had life experiences that set him against the establishment. Linda was a big loss for sure. She provided some outside perspective and it’s been like an echo chamber since her character left.

I did read somewhere that the main demographic for the show in the US was older more conservative viewers with an inherent support of the establishment so it seems the writers know what their audience wants and plays to it.

I think in the real world if you have one single family so baked into the law enforcement and legal system you’d have some real world issues like corruption, perceived corruption, allegations of bias, profiteering etc. In the end though it’s a kind of a good wholesome show for people who like things a bit grittier than regular do-gooder shows. By that I mean that it strikes me as one of those Sunday shows like 7th heaven etc only with a bit of grit here and there. I did always like some of the moral conundrums they threw up.

I well remember getting the first episode ‘off the US cousins’ way back in 2010. I never thought I’d be still discussing it in 2023 so, definitely, a great run.

I will miss it, however the family itself was becoming unbelievable.

How old is everyone supposed to be?

Grandchildren in their 20's , puts their parents in their late 40's early 50's, puts frank in his 70's (at what age do police commissioners retire?) Then how old is the very spritely father?

Plus how old was the son that died , when he had the other grandson?

Once you turn a blind eye to all that it was a good show!

Best not think too hard about it 😂

I'll miss Tom (I still would 😂)
