What exactly is NYPD Blue?
NYPD Blue is one of the best dramas to ever air on television. It ran from September of 1993 through March of 2005. Created by David Milch and Steven Bochco, the show focused on the personal and professional lives of the members of the detective’s squad in the New York Police Department’s 15th Precinct. Before it premiered in the fall of 1993, the series got a lot of publicity because of its daring use of nudity and profanity — men’s buttocks, women’s breasts, and the word “asshole” all appeared for the first time in an American prime-time series on NYPD Blue. However, people who actually bothered to watch the show (and not protest it blindly) discovered that there was a lot more to it than just tits, ass, and swear words. It was a dark, moving series about trying to hold onto your morals and ideals in a corrupt and evil world.
