NYPD Blue – Season 6

This Steven Bochco-produced series pulls few punches in portraying the day-to-day lives of cops in New York’s 15th Precinct. Characters’ personal lives intertwine with the cases they work, which often deal with the worst elements the city has to offer. Many characters came and went during the show’s 12-season run but one constant throughout the series was Det. Andy Sipowicz, portrayed by Dennis Franz.
