We bring an end to the extraordinary 261 episode run of NYPD Blue. We talk about Sipowicz’s development from a gruff, prejudiced renegade into an understanding, well-respected leader. We take a look at the loss he has experienced in 12 seasons, and how that has shaped his character. We discuss our disappointment with the formulaic storytelling of the series finale, but praise the final five minutes, including the exceptional acting, cinematography, and going on with business as usual in Precinct 15.
