Steven Bochco, Writer and Producer of Landmark TV Series Such as ‘Hill Street Blues,’ ‘L.A. Law’ and ‘NYPD Blue,’ Dies at 74

I just started watching Hill Street Blues. It was a groundbreaking police series because of its realism and the adult subject matter. The documentary aesthetic and morally complex themes made it more daring than many of the previous television series about the police and crime.
