[2] The series follows a diverse group of rookie New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers as they patrol the streets of Upper Manhattan.

[8] Next to board the project were Judy Marte, Tom Reed, and Stark Sands, who all portray rookie cops.

[1] NYC 22 took over the timeslot of CSI: Miami, which had its season shortened slightly to make room for the new drama.

[13] According to cast member Stark Sands, NYC 22 episodes were not originally aired in the order they were shot, which led to confusing character arcs.

That compares with a 2.1 rating average for new episodes of CSI: Miami since January, and a 1.7 for the significantly delayed finale last week."
