I watched all the episodes and find this series very "cheap" in production. I did see a few cameo's by some legends but that obviously wasn't enough to keep this show afloat. Lt. Shea from the series "Rescue Me" has a role here as a hostage negotiator but his character is down played by Lee Lee's character in a scene. I believe the budget was too short, the characters besides Adam Goldberg are horrible actors. The whole basis of the show is a big question mark??? Its so fake... just so fake that you can't stand it. If this is what the studio's in NYC are producing I can see why the industry is faltering and moving elsewhere.

This is the only show I watch on network TV, which isn't saying much. It has that Jack Webb sense about it in which they show a more polished department and officers, which are always so helpful and has the time to dedicate to the little stuff and solves every crime. These officers are not rookies, they're supercops, able to solve every crime in a single bound or should I say....60 minutes! It does give you a slight insight of the people real police officers have to deal with on a daily basis and the emotions they must feel, now only if they could develop sensorsmell for the TV. It'll have you fleeing your homes.I was disappointed with one episode in which it looked like the series was heading for most of the officers to start having relations with their partners or other officers in the same precinct. This is why I only watched NYPD Blue for a couple of seasons, it was turning into a soap opera just as ER did and all these other drama's. Why the writers in Hollywood have to ruin these shows is beyond me but if they continue down that path with NYC 22, it'll last as long as Brooklyn South. And for us old fogies, can you lose the opening theme song?

Though i liked the pilot, the last three episodes have been on a descending slope; oh, hasn't The Killing thought me anything? Well apparently not because i just dedicated a whole day catching up with NYC 22's last outings and i'm noticing more and more of the same: this is purely a "fantasy" police drama. Now experience tells me that Fantasy and Drama don't normally go well together and there you have it, my review of NYC 22. too many weird, unrealistic things happening which completely befuddle you into thinking, "is this a serious show, i am watching, or complete rubbish?"Rookie cops defusing bombs, radios that malfunction, specialist jobs being assigned randomly, such as investigations or detainee transport .. these are not beat-cop jobs, and have the writers really run out of ideas after four episodes? If you are going to center your show on rookies then you have to come up with rookies-related stories... other stuff won't do.So, it's not really horrible, but we've already got CSI for those times when we want a completely unrealistic show and no thanks, we don't need one more, especially when it's this slow.My vote, a forgettable 5/10

For years I have not seen on TV and a real good series about cops on the street. When I saw the pilot episode, I fell in love in the series. In this series there is no political correctness that has ruined many a series of police. The series follows a group of young officers who were suddenly thrown into the real world. Colleagues who do not like them, rough areas, each of the young police officers has a story that appears in the series. Although there are a couple of clichés, the series was really great refreshment on television.Message for writers and producers: - Proceed as in the first episode. - Do not turn this into a series of quasi-drama for the housewives - I do not want to go deeper into the love stories of police officers - We want to see their lives and work on the street - Display their private lives just to have as much to do with their work in the police.Good job, keep going!
