‘Blue Bloods’ Last Midseason Finale TV Review: NYPD Family Drama Stays Steady With Some Cynicism, Church & ‘Trainspotting’
There were some throwbacks, some cynicism, some church & a sense the real drama on the NYC cop family show is still to come
Gus Vanderlip, a cop burnt out on a system that seems not protect the innocent, Blue Bloods stayed on track with its mix of moral compass and the dirty business of walking the beat with the Reagan clan as it has on many a Friday night since its September 2010 debut. One of the advantafes that network shows still have is the reach and cash to snag a poignant tune for the soundtrack as Blue Bloods did tonight with the use of Iggy Pop’s iconic “Lust for Life” as Jamie and his bride Officer Eddie Janko-Reagan (Vanessa Ray) went undercover at a rehab facility on their 5 th wedding anniversary. For a show that often sees nothing but the shine on the badge, tonight brought it closer to home with cops like Danny Reagan and the commissioner’s confidant Lieutenant Sid Gormley (Robert Clohessy) who turned a convenient blind eye to let an old pal skip the country and avoid the legal consequences of his own misconduct.
