Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless join forces as the title duo in this groundbreaking cop show from the 1980s. This series challenged gender roles while providing entertaining drama about two female cops. Daly (JUDGING AMY) stars as Mary Beth Lacey, a hard-working mother and policewoman. Gless (QUEER AS FOLK) plays her partner, Christine Cagney, a woman fighting crime and being single in New York City. Daly and Gless racked up a half-dozen Emmy wins between them for these strong characters who encountered more than just murder on the streets of Gotham. Cagney and Lacey also tackled issues such as date rape, racial prejudice, and abortion in its six-season run. This release includes the first season in its entirety, plus a documentary about the show's lasting effect on TV history.
