So annoying

If I have to look at one more grimace from Tom Selleck on 'Blue Bloods' I'm gonna scream.  Never having watched it in the past, I now occasionally do and am growing increasingly annoyed with Selleck's facial expressions -- or should I say "expression" because he has only the one. 

The guy never cracks a real smile, just sort emits a teeth-clenching grimace in reaction to all the weighty and serious issues he confronts in an hour as NYC police commissioner.  Then he stares meaningfully into space for a while, pondering the gravity of what just took place -- be it a turkey dinner or a murderous rampage -- as the scene fades to commercial. 

All so annoying.  The other thing that has always bugged me are Selleck's suits.  What police commissioner is that precious that he wears $2,000-dollar three-piece suits you might oogle in GQ?  These guys are usually tough as nails and wear garments that reflect it. 

Moving on to other stuff, the casting of Len Cariou as the father is completely ludicrous.  Not only is he a terrible actor (yes, he's Canadian, unfortunately), he's not credible in other ways -- such as his age.  I always thought there was something wrong with him as Selleck's father.  Turns out there is.  He's only six years older than the guy who plays his son.  Man, talk about child marriages!

I guess I watch to see what other annoying quirks will emerge.  One thing's for sure:  no one's as in love with his wife in real life as Wahlberg is with his on the show.  Just does not ring true.  Detectives under that kind of pressure usually behave like Harvey Keitel in 'Bad Lieutenant'.  Really, really badly.
