Hill Street Blues

7 Seasons 1981 - 1987 TV-14 1h 00m 8.2

The lives and work of the staff of an inner city police precinct.

The original "ensemble drama," this is the story of an overworked, under-staffed police precinct in an anonymous inner city patterned after Chicago. We follow the lives of many characters, from the lowly beat and traffic cops to the captain of the precinct himself. This is the show that blazed the trail followed later by such notable ensemble dramas as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law."
