(Image credit: Universal Television ) It Also Felt A Lot More Action-Packed Than Other Dick Wolf Shows At The Timeįrom the very first shot in the opening theme of New York Undercover, we see Det. It struck a chord with me that still resonates today because of the struggles that I wasn’t seeing on any other shows. Williams (Yoba) raising a kid he had with his girlfriend when he was still a teenager himself. Torres’s (DeLorenzo) struggles with his drug abusing father, and Det. New York Undercover had stories about drug deals gone wrong, and bank robbers, but it was more the personal lives of the characters that made it feel closer to home than what I was seeing over my dad’s shoulder while he watched L&O.

That was a show that used to put me to sleep, not keep me up at night like our very own Mick Joest.īut, New York Undercover felt a lot more street than L&O, and really, any other show he's done since. It was like how my Mom used to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. But, back when I was a kid, I didn’t want to watch all that. I mean, not really, and as an adult, I’ve come to respect the slower-paced, methodical approach to the show. Most of the time they were either in courtrooms, or just leaving the courtroom.īOOOOORRRRIIIINNNGGG.

And, you know what I got out of it? A lot of people in suits talking. I saw bits and pieces of Law & Order as my dad occasionally had it on.

Now, I know how I just mentioned that New York Undercover was my introduction to Dick Wolf TV shows, but I just mean that it’s the first of his shows that I actually sat down and really watched. (Image credit: Universal Television) It Felt A Lot More Street Than Other Dick Wolf Shows At The Time
