NYPD Blue - Season 2 (1993)

Transitional "Blue"

"NYPD Blue" never fully recovered from the abrupt exit of David Caruso in Season Two (1994-95). Despite his solid performance as Bobby Simone, it was impossible for Jimmy Smits to fill the void created by Caruso's departure. Nevertheless, Dennis Franz's complex portrayal of Andy Sipowicz remained integral to the series -- thanks to the guiding hand of creators Steven Bochco and David Milch. The six-DVD set is worth having for the final Caruso episodes and the evolving chemistry between Franz and Smits. However, the dramatic uniqueness of "NYPD Blue" was dead and gone after Detective John Kelly left the 15th Precinct. March 22, 2008

whoops!

This is a 6 disc set. My copy, when received, had problems. The first disc had dislocated from its place in the container, and the disc was damaged by the container's hard plastic center spool, making two of the episodes on it unplayable on my Panasonic equipment. This is a first for me, never happened before with any other set ordered from AMAZON. The cost of the set was so low, and since we had already seen the two episodes when first aired, we decided the matter was not worth pursuing. I do not hold Amazon at fault here, but the manufacturer, who might have foreseen this happening, and instead of the "book style" container, provided individual disc cases, as was done on later years of this series.

A great Cop Drama

Probably one of the best cop Dramas. If you like Third Watch, Brooklyn South or Law & Order you will enjoy all of the NYPD Blue seasons. October 13, 2007

Very Interesting series

I purchased this DVD because of David Caruso who starred in its first season. Then when I got into it I had to have the other seasons as well. It is a well written and very well acted series. Pretty raw for the 90s when it was shown, but tame by todays standards.
I just wonder IF New York city is that conjested and crowded, the 15th precinct shows a down and dirty part of the city. I enjoy the series, but sorry NY is a place I would definately wouldn't want to live. August 31, 2007

Wasn't to hot on this DVD. Story lines weren't the greatest and for some reason the cameraman goes up down left right at high rates of speed almost making you dizzy trying to keep up with the changing (too rapidly)
scenes. My choose is Hill St. Blues over NYPD. July 25, 2007
