NYPD Blue - Season 2 (DVD, 6-Disc Set)

I, unlike many others, have always liked David Caruso's acting style, and didn't have any problems when he decided to leave the show after only one season. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Jimmy Smits also did his part justice and I enjoyed his performance as well. The show to me though will always be about Dennis Franz. NYPD Blue was always a ground breaking series and it became the classic it was because of Franz stuck with it and continued to build on it each season.

Season 2 was even better than the first, more action, mixed with episodes of humour, but never lost it's true calling as a new and different police drama.

Highly recommended and I can hardly wait for the rest of the seasons to show up on DVD.

As a fan of the later seasons of NYPD Blue [too young to watch it for most of the seasons], I jumped at the chance to own the series. While many of the cases wrapped up entirely too easily, I did enjoy the strong character development, particular Detective Sipowicz's character (played by Dennis Franz). Season 2 opens with David Caruso's character Det. John Kelly leaving,which was indeed a shame, but Jimmy Smits' character Bobby Simone fills the slot nicely. I'd recommend it to any fan of police/detective/mystery shows. While the 'mystery' component is weak, I do enjoy knowing when I'm right, and surprised when another character pops up.

This season brought about many changes in personnel. It starts with John Kelly and quickly introduces Jimmy Smitts as Bobby Simone (my favorite character). Donna temporarily leaves and John takes over her position - another of my favorite characters. Also, Bobby meets Diane and they begin a relationship. The season ends with Andy and Slyvia's greek wedding. No super upsetting episodes and a close call for Andy make this an exciting season. Several funny scenes as well. I think this is my favorite of the 11 seasons on NYPD Blue.

Season two is the BEST. No longer is Caruso a part of the cast. This begins with Det. Kelly's (Caruso) ending which is abrupt and the begining of Jimmy Smits. NYPD is one of the best cop shows on tv AFTER season 1 lol

I'm born and raised in NYC. NYPD Blue is filled with NYC people, at our best and at our worst. I would guess that there are few of us who haven't had some contact with NYPD sometime in our lives. Although the situation for the most part might not be pleasant. The interaction with the police was a positive one.
NYPD Blue is a classic police drama. I saw most to the original TV broadcasts and caught many on cable re-runs. I've watched many episodes over and over. I love the acting and the intensity of the drama. It also touches upon issues that are not talked about by many of us.
I'm a real fan, and very happy with my purchase.
