This New ‘Blue Bloods’ Recast Just Isn’t Working on ‘Boston Blue’

Ever since Boston Blue, the new spin-off and continuation of the hit series Blue Bloods, made its CBS debut, something seemed weirdly off about the show and the main cast. The problem became totally apparent in the episode, “Suffer the Children.” The new series introduces a new actor, Mika Amonsen, who now portrays Sean Reagan, the son of longtime Blue Bloods staple, Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg).

Amonsen replaced the original actor as Sean Reagan, Andrew Terraciano, who portrayed the character across every season of the original series. Unfortunately, Amonsen’s performance reinforces why the recasting decision simply is not working, and it’s become a detriment to Boston Blue.
