Back in the day I watched this show religiously. I'd forgotten how short Caruso's tenure was. Jimmy Smits whom I remembered from LA Law moves right in. His first act is to help subdue and nutcase ex partner from another precinct who threatens to kill the new female detective. The most memorable case is that of a father who has been molesting his teenage daughter for years. Faye Furillo (Barbara Bosson) is the mother. It's all a feeling out process for Simone and Sipowicz (who is wary of anyone new).

Suspicious of Kelly's replacement
rjmeredith338213 October 2023
Andy is suspicious of Kelly's replacement. I have just started watching all of these episodes, and David Caruso was the magnet. He knew just how to turn a phrase, make a look, show kindness to a grieving parent or spouse. When he left, I was angry and thought Jimmy Smits could never replace hm. I was so wrong. Detective Simone turns out to be a man of character and depth and kindness and patience. Of course Andy is suspicious. And the quotes that Andy makes are awesome. He is constantly sarcastic, and it is obviously a method of handling the stress and commotion of seeing people hacked up, shot, raped, abused on a daily basis. This series has grown to be one of my all time favorites.
