I watched the entire series on Sky Atlantic, superb series with only one or two weak episodes, Selleck is great as was one of the Wahlberg brothers (always get them mixed up). Not at all like the wire but never the less i would make the purchase.
IMHO it was a bit shit. Danny Wahlberg being the maverick, hero cop week in, week out. I gave up after 4 episodes, which is a shame because I like NY as a setting and I like police dramas. :-(
Watched all of Blue Bloods series 1 on Sky Atlantic. I kind of agree with matt, its pretty simple and obvious most of the time but still very watchable.
I gave up after 4 episodes... I couldn't take the 'it all ended happily ever after' with the family round the dinner table at the end of each episode. If you've not seen it Broadwalk Empire was very good worth watching.
