 Brooklyn South: The Complete Series | PopMatters Television Review
Brooklyn South was co-created by writer/producer Steven Bochco, who had repeatedly reinvented the police drama, first in the early 1980s with Hill Street Blues, and again in the 1990s with the long-running police detective series, NYPD Blue.

Brooklyn South's riveting pilot gave viewers every indication that Bochco was not only sticking to this formula, but continuing to push the envelope.
