Blue Bloods

A closer look at the story

Blue Bloods tells the story of the Reagans, generations of whom have served to keep New York safe. As head of the family and the city's Police Commissioner, Frank Reagan runs both the department and his large family with the same diplomatic skill. Having taken over the post from his bold but trouble-prone father, Henry, Frank also tries to sort out the political problems his father left behind. Frank's eldest son, Danny, is an expert detective, a family man and an Iraq War veteran who often uses unpredictable methods to solve crimes. The only daughter, Erin, a newly divorced mother and assistant district attorney, helps keep her father and brothers within the bounds of the law. The youngest son, Jamie, has just graduated from Harvard Law School yet turns his back on a brilliant legal career and, following the family tradition, chooses to become a police officer. Created by Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess and airing on CBS from 2010 for fourteen seasons and 293 episodes, this police family drama stars Tom Selleck as Frank.
