Blue Bloods (TV Series) Rush to Judgment (2015) User Reviews

***1/2

[edwagreen · 9/10 · 31 October 2015]

The Rev. Potter is back in full revenge mode in this episode. Denouncing the Reagans at a demonstration, Potter and a civil rights attorney get a "gift" when it appears that Jaime used brutality at the demonstration. Of course, the video shot, tells only part of the story.

Our attorney soon falls victim to one of his demonstrators claiming that he molested her in a hotel room after the demonstration.

For the first time, you really see Will Estes, who plays Jaime, irate when he is given less to due while an investigation is pending. You see a ruthless attorney at the investigation. This woman really dislikes the Reagan's.

With the stuff going on in real life, this episode hits close to home

[dmcreif · 9/10 · 10 February 2016]

Video surfaces of Jamie appearing to commit police brutality at a demonstration when he knocks down a biker who would've otherwise hit some other assembled gatherers. Subsequently, Frank's battles with the Rev. Potter return to the spotlight.

Part of me thinks that the plot of the episode was written as the Blue Bloods answer to documenting the issues that have been brought up by the Black Lives Matter protests in real life.

The result of this is an episode that seems fairly realistic, highlighting the amount of distrust that the black communities and the police are dealing with, and the cause of the movement. All in all, it makes a pretty entertaining episode.

Double jackpot

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 13 October 2016]

Poor Will Estes gets himself in a jackpot as Ato Essandoh and Steven Bauer are leading a demonstration against the NYPD and his father in particular. Estes pushed a speeding bicyclist out of the way lest he hit a mother and child and the cyclist was injured. I feel for him because years ago I got blindsided by a bicyclist myself.

But Bauer has his own jackpot when one of the demonstrators accuses him of rape and it's that other Reagan Donnie Wahlberg who gets the case. That one has an unusual resolution.

It's Tom Selleck who takes some direct action on behalf of his youngest to resolve that situation. I kind of like the way he did it.

I think the viewer will too.

I cannot see him anymore

Whom do I refer to? Reverend Potter. Now I do not live in the USA but I really love this show, but if i have to suffer just one more showing of this hypocrite, this fake civil rights movement agitator, I will stop to watch it. If that guy were terrorizing the streets of my country, my homeland, I would personally see him to the next life. Unbearable.
