East New York (2022)

I like it a lot. To me, it has an “NYPD Blue” vibe, which Jimmy Smits also starred in back in 1994 - 2004.

Seriously Jimmy Smits gets no respect. I do not think he has had a single show go past the first season since NYPDBlue/WestWing days. His last law show was really good and they didn’t give it a chance.

On another note as far as the reat of the show goes, I am not impressed with the Rookie’s storyline. Maybe they didn’t want to go hard on them since there are two Rookie shows already out, but the real meat of the show is Regina Howard. Her slow drawls and the way she looks at people is the most accurate portrayal of a woman in NYC working as first responder. Every time there’s nonsense on the show she looks at them like “are you kidding me” It’s so authentic to this part of Brooklyn. When I had to remove someone from my building, the two officers who showed up were exactly like Hayward and - I can’t recall his name (the bald older training officer).
