BLUE BLOODS’ episodes have received favorable reviews from Movieguide®. “Hold Outs”s review reads:
The “Hold Outs” episode of the BLUE BLOODS television series involves three stories that play well off each other. Jamie Reagan and his partner are investigating a series of gang muggings targeting senior citizens living in a neighborhood of apartment buildings. Meanwhile, Jamie’s older sister, Erin, is assigned a carjacking murder case that’s just ended in a hung jury. While swearing in a young police officer, whose life he saved as a baby, their father, Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, answers questions from the press. They want to know why the re-elected mayor has yet to ask Frank to continue as police chief.
All the separate plots in BLUE BLOODS: Hold Outs are compelling. They also have compelling twists. The writing, direction, editing, and acting are excellent. Even better, all the stories are held together by a strong Christian, Pro-American, moral worldview. Included are positive references to Jesus, prayer and studying the Bible for solutions to personal problems. Also, positive police work is extolled. “Hold Outs” does contain some foul language and references to immoral behavior, however. So, caution is advised for older children.
