Shut his eyes
bkoganbing3 February 2017
Some truly cowardly thugs play a certain game where they just go up and punch out a random stranger. You have to truly be a brave one to do that to a pregnant Rose Hemingway. She loses the baby and her husband Jack Segarra just can't handle it.

There's a crisis here for Donnie Wahlberg. When Segarra decides to take matters in his own hands Wahlberg would just like to shut his eyes. He's one determined cop, but he's also a husband and father as well.

The other part of this episode concerns an uncomfortable position that Tom Selleck is placed in by Len Cariou and an old police buddy of his. They're trying to push hard for a promotion for a young grandson of the friend who might not be ready.

I think Selleck was a little too goody goody here. Nepotism and hooks do exist in the police and probably there more than in a lot of places.

Seeing Wahlberg interrogate one of the punch out punks is worth seeing this story for that alone.

This Episode-First Time No ****-Episode ***

Warning: Spoilers
For the first time since I've been reviewing this excellent series, I am giving an episode less than the 4 stars I usually rate it. Here is why:

This episode dealt with the knockout game currently confronting many urban areas in our country. In our New York City, certain groups seem to be targeted for this outrage. The episode just skirts over that issue and instead becomes one of revenge when a pregnant woman loses her unborn baby during such an attack.

It is briefly mentioned that the Jewish Daily Forward and the New York Post wouldn't stop writing regarding this urban phenomenon.

Let's confront the heart of the problem once and for all.
