Fans feel Legacy butchers Frank Reagan's character
"Legacy" has several intersecting plot points. One sees Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) considering a new job to make more money to support his family, while Nicky (Sami Gayle) deals with sexual harassment in the workplace. However, the plot that really seems to have struck a negative chord with audiences is the one involving Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck (https://www.looper.com/247428/the-untold-truth-of-tom-selleck/)). Frank deals with a media circus when a rookie cop asks for a pedestrian's immigration status. Frank often has to make difficult decisions as police commissioner, sometimes where there's no solution where everyone will be happy. But audiences seem to be in agreement that he made the wrong choice in "Legacy," especially given how out-of-character it comes across.
Numerous negative reviews have been left on the episode's IMDb page, with many people confused about why Frank chose to fire an officer when she did everything by the book in their eyes. One individual wrote, "Frank was so out of character. He has always stuck up for his cops. This episode is not believable." Even on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/bluebloods/comments/8skv8m/0815legacymy_last_episode/), one user went so far as to say, "I think I've watched my last episode of Blue Bloods" in reference to the storyline.
Many people believe the episode was completely out of character for Frank, and regardless of what the law would dictate in this situation, it remains one of the lowest-rated "Blue Bloods" episodes of all time.
