NYPD Blue Season 1

(1993)
synopsis

Team 15 investigators Andy Sipovich and John Kelly work together. Popovich was the more experienced spouse but was also an alcoholic and dangerous to the more durable union. While Kelly truly cared about his partner, Sipovich's actions began to annoy him. Alphonse Giardella shot Sipovich almost fatally. Sipovich harshly insulted him in front of others while intoxicated. As a result, he made the option to continue working and staying awake (despite being involuntarily dehydrated during his coma). Kelly is joined by Squad Lieutenant Arthur Fancy and a rookie officer from the anti-crime section, James Martinez, while his partner is healing.
