Cop's Son Seeks Closer Bond with Busy Dad in Blue Bloods Spinoff

In a recent episode of the Blue Bloods spinoff, Sean, the son of Detective Danny Reagan, confides in his best friend Jonah that he wishes he had a stronger relationship with his father. Sean recalls how Danny was often absent, prioritizing his work as a cop over family time, even after Sean's brother Jack went off to college.

Danny, who has recently moved from New York to Boston to be closer to Sean, acknowledges that he has done a "lousy job" of making time for his son. The detective admits that cops often use their demanding jobs as an excuse to put work first, at the expense of their families. However, Danny vows to change his ways, saying "Reagans don't do it at the expense of family."
