East New York (2022–2023)
6/10
Just another cop show
27 April 2023
There's not much new to see here. If you like cop shows you'll like this one. There's a nice mix of patrol v detective v supervisor v admin, which can be seen in most cop shows for the past few decades. They also use the newbie v veteran contrasts. The acting is uniformly good at every level, and the guest stars also do a good job.

What I like most about the series are the shots of East New York. These are done well, help add to the story, but don't overwhelm you. If there's any way this series stands out a lot from others it's in this area.

Another way it's a little different is the diversity. The area chief is Hispanic and the precinct chief is a Black woman. Contrast that with Blue Bloods which is white bread on white or Chicago PD which has a mere sprinkling of Black and Hispanic.
