Blue Bloods: Season 5 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christine Orlando TV Fanatic The barbs that flew between Jamie and Danny across the Sunday dinner table were great fun. They all acted a bit like 5th graders but that's what siblings do sometimes and as annoying as it can be to be in the middle of, it's an awful lot of fun to watch.

Audience Member A show that's completely enthralling, thoroughly entertaining and season 5 put all characters in key roles with intensity! All actors are fantastic and their being family (related) is convincing! Even saw Erin and Danny make identical facial gestures, just like "real siblings!" Linda getting shot brought us to our knees. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Our favorite series on Netflix. May it be continued forever! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Still faithfully following Blue Bloods through all of its seasons. It keeps getting better and better. CBS is doing a great job in providing and renewing the largest number of awesome shows to keep us entertained. CBS, please continue to do so. So many of the other networks are letting us down by pushing their 'reality' shows on us and cancelling or failing to renew the few good ones that they have. It's easy to see why CBS is #1 in the networks' race. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member continues to be well-crafted drama, some shows thinner than most. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I am about 12 episodes into the first season, watching on Netflix. I really like this series. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member not bad at all, lot of my faves on this show Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
