After weeks of hype, "Bostons Finest" finally premiered Wednesday night. The TNT reality series follows Boston Police officers as they patrol the city. The show opened to strong reviews and a litany of excited tweets from the department itself.

The first episode focused on a fugitive hunt in Southie and Dorchester, a melee in Hyde Park, and an officer's bittersweet field trip to Lynn. And while other cop-based reality shows you've heard of focus on foot chases and shirtless arrests, "Boston's Finest" took the time to introduce officers and tell their stories before getting into the nitty gritty of arrests and manhunts.
