Season 3
🎬 23 Episodes 📅 2012 ⏱ 44 min
In New York, crime and family duty are inseparable inside the Reagan household. Frank Reagan leads the city’s police department as commissioner, while members of his family work across investigations, patrol, and prosecution, constantly balancing law, loyalty, and conscience. Blue Bloods is not built around one case, but around a long-running portrait of a family shaped by public service, where weekly crimes often lead back to the dinner table and harder questions about justice, duty, and the personal cost of wearing the badge.
