They never tried to make another cop show like NYPD.    The show was unmatched.  I'm glad that so many episodes are on Youtube.   Some of the best acting ever seen on TV.

This actress (the mother) should have won an Emmy.

This show could just tear you right down to the ground & then lift you back up, all in one scene.  Brilliiant.

Bobby”He asked me to shoot him,
Andy”he asked the wrong guy...class

If not the best scene of the entire series, certainly one of the 2 or 3 best acted. Even the Lawyer, coming back in at the end, was perfect.

Blue at it's best.

Lost Israel is easily one of, if not the best, episode of NYPD Blue. It makes you feel everything: anger, relief, sadness all across the two parts of the episode. Andy taking himself off the case, Bobby drawing the father out little by little and Diane doing everything she can to gently encourage the mother to come forward. It's just amazing.
People can have their Game of Thrones, or Walking Dead, this show is amongst the greatest to grace television. Cop show and otherwise.

Damn, some of the best acting by everyone in the scene you'll ever see on TV.

Part one and two should be pieced together as a two hour movie

Interesting how at the end even the Lawyer is speechless and shocked at what Steve Egan did to his son.

These were the best episodes ever on the show in my opinion. The acting was just incredible and the story was very powerful.

This is why I miss this show.

Good acting and a very powerful scene

2 years later and the episode still draws tears from my heart.

Best show ever created. Best actors ever produced.

Not just the acting but the music. The music just adds to it. What a great show.

This 2 parter was the best episode of the entire series. Smits and Franz at their peak.

I watch these from time to time and remember when really good acting took precedence over all else when it came to a show of this caliber. They don't make 'em like that anymore. It's a shame, too. There's a chemistry between all the actors, and the stories are so realistic and even though the crimes are gruesome and twisted, they are one hundred percent human. Great writers, great actors, great show.

Annie Corley is a magnificent actor - Mary Marsh on “The West Wing”, Christine Hill on “Law & Order”, and this role. She’s just magic.

I’ve seen every episode probably 10 times. And I watch them like it’s the first time
