[O]ne of the truly notable entries in the ever-dwindling field of serious, hourlong TV drama. Surprisingly it is on the Fox, which clawed out a "fourth network" niche mostly with raucous half-hour comedies and hourlong adolescent hormone operas.

What's most impressive so far about "TriBeCa" is the level of production quality. With Mr. Burke, Mr. De Niro and Jane Rosenthal as the executive producers, "TriBeCa" is obviously not going to be your average, somewhat tacky weekly series. Its overall "look" is striking. One production designer is Santo Loquasto, whose work has brought inimitable distinction to a good many Woody Allen films. In fact, the shots of lower Manhattan that accompany the opening credits are as seductive as any city tour in an Allen movie.
"No doubt the involvement of Mr. De Niro in this project helps attract actors of substance, those who, like Mr. Fishburne, Mr. Lumbly and Mr. Lang, offer performances that are leagues beyond the standard television movie. Gifted veterans like Andre Gregory and Judith Malina can be spotted in future shows. - ↑ James Doolittle (April 13, 1993). "Fox's 'Tribeca' taps anthology format for good drama".

A cop (Laurence Fishburne) tries to deal with the death of his older brother, a stockbroker murdered and robbed on his morning run through Battery Park. His tortured efforts to open a puzzle box that his late brother gave him parallel his efforts to find peace with himself. A splendid start for the series, with Fishburne's Emmy Award-winning performance as the anguished cop. Series regular Joe Morton makes his first appearance as a mounted policeman.

TriBeCa has attracted actors, writers and directors of uncommon quality. Without having to commit to long-term contracts, they have been allowed to stretch themselves in ways that commercial television rarely affords. "TriBeCa" is the kind of project that probably cannot survive in a totally commercial environment. But then, public television has no money to support such ventures. It's the dreadful television bind.
