Stylish but barely mediocre overall
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

... View MoreI thought this show was very good. When I saw the first season, I was somewhat iffy about where it was going. The next season they added the beautiful Lauren Velez, and I think it was then that the show took off. I became a New York Undercover addict! I even enjoyed the episodes in which they brought in Detective Macnamara, played by Jonathan LaPaglia. The next thing I know, New York Undercover just went down hill due to the killing off of the characters Torres and Macnamara. I thought for sure that the season after Macnamara was introduced, that it would get better just as the show always seemed to do at the start of every new season. Well, Mr. Wolf handed fans a HUGE disappointment. I agree with the person who stated that this show could have survived at least two or three more seasons had they kept the Eddie Torres character. Dick Wolf should have seen disaster on the rise. Viewers were used to seeing Torres and Williams. You can't kill off one of the lead characters and expect to have a chance at good ratings. Not only did they kill off Torres and Macnamara, but they killed the spirit of the show. Tommy Ford as Lt. Barker looked more like a pimp than a cop. And who were these other rejects? Even Lt. Cooper left the show. I think fans only watched the very FIRST episode of the last season because they wanted to know if in fact Torres' character was really dead. Once they found out, that was it. Dick Wolf has learned his lesson I'm sure. When you've got a good thing, keep it the way it is. Nobody likes drastic changes to something that they're used to. He's learning that with Law & Order.
... View MoreI loved this show, but what's going on with the folks at IMDb.com not listing the two main characters on the cast listing on the main page? Well, if they won't I will... Everybody watched the show to see Malik Yoba and and Michael DeLorenzo who played the Black and Puerto Rican detectives. Also, I think Michael Michelle played Malik Yoba's love interest on the show... plus there was a Puerto Rican female detective who was dating Michael Delorenzo's character on the show. That's who people watched for, not the unrecognizable names that is listed under the cast for the show. Also, there were plenty of guest stars that were on the show... I think Mary J. Blige, Tyra Banks, Terrence Howard, Diana Krall as jazz singer... where are those folks listed?
... View MoreNew York Undercover was one of those shows that I used to watch religiously, I was 14 when it first came about - but now that I look back at it, I see that these cops were ahead of their time as they were able to blend in with the urban society but at the same time faced tribulations that regular cops would face. But then again, what the hell do I know about being a cop? not much, but since cops have to "do their job" in the urban areas, they have to blend in...The live performances fit in pretty well since it's at some big time nightclub which the cops use for their hangout spot. My problem was that FOX completely started to drag the show toward the end and eventually got it cancelled...thanks for the memories...
... View MoreI miss this show so much! It was great until the crew almost completely changed. As soon as Eddie Torres was killed, the show went down hill.The music was AMAZING, too! I would give anything to have it all on DVD.It had a real cool "urban" feel to it, and these guys dealt with some real-life issues in their day-to-day drama. It became personal for them on many episodes.What a great idea for a show this was!Farewell NYU!!!!!!!TORRES (MIKE DELORENZO) MADE THAT SHOW COMPLETE!Peace
