filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

ehdiie First few episodes of the first season was kinda dull, but picks up as this unfolds.

ivan-skoko For me JLO like an entertainer in total is great, but when i was watching TV shows and ran into this series and saw it JLO to play in this i thought it was another crap like CSI clone or similar ,and just made a move on on my remote. And how I made a mistake. This is the top of the series, maybe the closest thing that is in reality of life, the struggle between good and evil is never clean, nor is it border between ever clean.

fairdry-45294 This show got me in very quickly. It's fast paced and makes you want to keep watching. Lopez & Liotta play there parts very well. If you liked the police drama The Shield then you will enjoy this. I've seen Lopez in a few chick flicks and she played her parts well. This roll is a whole new bad girl part for her, of which I think, she has been very impressive. Liotta plays the part of this Loyal but bad old Detective that you don't get on the wrong side of - Lt Wozniac. So give it a try.

ajb-40090 This show is wrought with police show clichés, stiff acting, and poor, shallow character development. From the beginning, Shades of Blue tries very hard to make every moment of the show tense. In doing so, it ignores any sort of real character development, leaving you with strained, tense situations featuring characters you don't really care about. Jennifer Lopez has a daughter. Ray Liotta is a longtime veteran. They're both crooked cops and liars. They've worked together for a while and have some mysterious personal connection. These are essentially the only core traits of these characters. That's it. There's a cat and mouse game going on between them, but since they're cardboard cut-outs, everything that happens just feels like a waste. Just get to the part where they realize they can't trust each other.All of the secondary characters exist, seemingly, to add minutes to each program. The rookie cop unjustly shoots a guy in the first few minutes, but because the show immediately dumps the viewer into tension and turmoil, there's no build up and you're left feeling nothing for this guy. The only reason anything happens in this universe is to attempt to prop up the two main characters. The rookie shoots the guy so that J-Lo can react, and so that Liotta can react to that. There's no reason to buy in to these characters.The production falls flat as well. Shades of Blue eschews some of the grittiness of, like, The Shield, and instead goes for a clean look and shuttles in the occasional artsy camera angle (shooting characters through mirrors, etc). It feels inauthentic. There's also music, which detracts from most scenes. A pivotal moment of the show feels a whole lot less important with Frank Ocean's voice narrating it at obnoxiously changing volumes. The look and feel of the show often feel like overcompensating for the Swiss cheese plot and the vanilla characters.This show just isn't worth your time.
