Overview[]

On the mean streets of New York, the police walk a fragile line as they go about struggling to enforce the law and apprehend criminals while keeping the public safe. These are the casefiles of the daily lives and struggles of the Detective Squad of NYPD's 15th Precinct as they go about investigating crimes and solving murders.

For the 15th, they're a group of very different people and personalities ... some of them are friends, some of them are enemies, and others are indifferent to one another. But whereever they come from and whoever they all are, the 15th Detective Squad are all bound by a code of honor and a thin blue line of loyalty to be comrades in arms as they wage a never ending struggle to keep the streets safe and bring murderers to justice ... no matter the cost.

NYPD Blue was a long-running Emmy award winning American produced crime mystery-drama TV series starring David Caruso, Dennis Franz, Gordon Clapp, James McDaniel, Nicholas Turturro, Diane Russel, Jimmy Smits, Kim Delaney, Henry Simmons, Sharon Lawrence, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Ricky Schroder. It was regarded as one of the most critically acclaimed police procedural TV shows during its run particularly by critics for its gritty and stark realism, nuanced characters, as well as tackling various topics from alcoholism, racism, and police brutality. The series faced significant controversy from certain audiences and groups over the profanity, violence, and nudity in certain episodes. Overall, the series won 20 Emmy Awards; 4 Golden Globes; 3 Humanitas Prizes; 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards; and two Peabody Awards during its series run.

NYPD Blue was originally intended as a vehicle show for cast member, David Caruso as the primary focus but he departed the show after a dispute with the producers over a raise. Instead, the series grew to focus on an ensemble cast of the 15th Detective Squad and in particular, became best known for it's breakout character of Detective Andy Sipowicz who was originally cast as a deeply cynical, homophobic, and bitterly racist veteran cop who is a barely functioning alcoholic as portrayed by Dennis Franz.

Over the course of the series, Sipowicz would find himself with numerous challenges and struggles in both his professional and personal life but rededicated himself to being a good cop, a father, husband; as well as evolving into an honored friend, partner, and cherished mentor to the various members of the 15th Detective Squad and the heart of the Squad. Franz himself was honored with numerous awards for his portrayal of Detective Sipowicz including four separate Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor, five Q Awards, and a PRISM and a Golden Globe for his performances.
