Blue Bloods
Honor. Justice. Family. It’s in their blood.
Created by Robin Green, Mitchell Burgess
On CBS
A long-running procedural that balances police work with family dynamics, anchored by institutional values and multigenerational bonds rather than moral ambiguity or high stakes.
A drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief.
