CBS ‘ Blue blood Season eleven opened with some notable reflection on police brutality, serial killer fear of Danny and Baez, and a hint of Reagan making a major change in his life. Plus, we get the third A new family dinner guest in four seasons!

As the premiere started, there was a sense of it Blue blood – Which is being About the NYPD Commissioner and his family – maybe the only TV show we wanted or Need To hear about police brutality and civil unrest. It came in the form of Frank’s struggle with City Council Mayor Regina Thomas (returning guest star Whoopi Goldberg), who tore up the NYPD on a morning radio show.

Then Joe, who appears to be still looking for his, if any, place in his newly discovered family, refused a Sunday dinner invitation, but nonetheless there was a special guest that week, when Danny Baez brought a really creamy bread-breaker with him. brood.
