Tommy

I have never watched Edie Falco shows but I do like the California spin opposite of Blue Bloods. The casting looks good and not full of blood, guts and gore of other shows.

I thought it might be another political smash and grab at first but it did not turn into a conservative comedy like other CBS shows.

I did have to do a rewind when it appeared Martin Milner from Adam-12 was escorting Arturo out of his house.

First network show, I have watched in years, that I like and it gets canceled.

I hadn't started watching till I had a little extra time to catch up on the DVR today. My expectations were low, since people were complaining about another radical lefty preachy type show with emphasis on a gay female "powerful woman" boss. Well, okay, she's all of that, but she's also got a Tom Selleck streak. She sticks up for her cops, bashes on reporters, has a touch of humor. Plus it's Edie Falco! I wish more people would give this one a chance.

The has the making it do a decent albeit not a great cop show. The characters are developing and only time will judge. Not all cop shows need to be filled with violence to make a good story.

If you nay sayers need something to trash, start with "Survivor"

I love seeing a powerful woman in a position that has historically been male dominated in the real world. Gives a glimpse into how women respond to leadership. Confident/powerful but still humble, strong/fierce without losing compassion, brilliant/passionate yet open to hearing/encouraging ideas and views brought forth by others. I'm looking forward to seeing how the character of Tommy evolves!
