The seeds of Sipowicz's character were planted in the first season. The viewer sees him being a rogue cop, regularly seeing a hooker, and continuously drinking. Yet after he gets shot by Giardella in the first half of Season 1, his partner John Kelly and then Sylvia Costas both discover some of Andy's better qualities. While Andy is rough around the edges, he's got some soft spots too.
It's too bad Caruso was such an a-hole back then and left the show because of his ego. The whole plotline with Licalsi killing the mobster and her involvement with Kelly was great. But her character became null & void once Caruso left.
