I had my doubts about Boston Blue, but now that the premiere has aired, I’m excited.
Boston Blue is not Blue Bloods 2.0, and that’s a good thing.
If CBS had greenlit a carbon copy of the original show with different characters, that would have been insulting. Instead, Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 1 was unique enough to pull its own weight while also continuing some of the most essential parts of Blue Bloods‘ legacy.
Danny’s Reason For Being In Boston Is A Double-Edged Sword
Danny’s decision to go to Boston to be there for Sean makes more sense now that we know that Sean was seriously injured while rescuing people from a fire.
I had imagined Danny moving to be with Sean, while Sean wanted his independence. That would have been silly and made Danny look too needy.
Sean’s injuries give Danny a real reason to be in Boston and to work with the Silver family, and they also open the door for guest appearances by various Reagans.
If Erin can go to Boston to visit Sean, why can’t anyone else? However, I’m curious how Boston Blue will address the idea that Danny’s time in Boston is time-limited.
At some point, Sean will heal enough that he no longer needs his father in the same city, and then Danny will need to go home… unless Boston grows on him and he decides to transfer officially.
The Silver family has already unofficially adopted Danny, and if he’s there for long enough, he may not want to come home.
What’s Going To Happen With Danny and Baez’s Relationship?
I loved Marisa Ramirez’s cameo at the beginning of Boston Blue.

I’m glad that’s not the case and that, in fact, Danny and Baez have moved forward enough to spend the night at each other’s apartments.
However, a long-distance relationship might be hard to maintain, especially since Danny is already getting so obsessed with work that he doesn’t bother to call Baez to update her on what’s going on.
