Blue Bloods, a police drama since 2010, has amassed a dedicated fan base with its family-centric plot. Behind the scenes, family dinners take hours to film, scripts are reviewed by a former NYPD detective for accuracy, and controversies, such as Jennifer Esposito’s exit, have left their mark. Real-life brothers play Danny Reagan’s sons, and Donnie Wahlberg brings boy band charm to his role. The show’s creators’ history with The Sopranos adds an interesting dimension. Despite the challenges of extended shoots and occasional controversies, Blue Bloods continues to captivate audiences with its realistic portrayal of law enforcement.
