About NYPD Blue
NYPD Blue follows the 15th precinct squad around Andy Sipowicz with John Kelly, Bobby Simone and later Danny, Diane and Connie. The show ran twelve seasons from 1993 to 2005 with 261 episodes, built on cases plus drinking, loss and mentorship arcs.
Partner turns and precinct moves assume prior years, with the finale closing Sipowicz as boss. There is no reboot or film. Watch seasons one through twelve in air order, since every pairing, death and promotion assumes the earlier squad. Cases stand alone per shift, but squad bonds and precinct moves grow with each season across years.
Good to know
There is no separate chronological order, since the precinct runs straight with no flashback seasons. Do not skip eras, because Sipowicz reform only lands after Kelly and Simone years. Later squads reuse old cases and bars, so order keeps returns clear. Start at season one for the full 15th arc. Later squads reuse old cases and bars, so order keeps returns clear across the twelve seasons.
