At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

...at least a very, very fun show. It's such a shame they canceled. I just happened to give it a try in Netflix, and I got hooked. Bring it back!

I stopped watching CSI: Miami when eventually I couldn't put up with David Caruso's underacting anymore. I can't watch reruns of the first two seasons of NCIS because Sasha Alexander's character is dead, shot through the forehead in such a gruesome manner. I like her on Rizzoli & Isles, though, but there I have to put up with Brenda Vaccaro. I enjoyed The Finder - no enervating actors - but it lasted only one season. And there's The Glades. I don't know why I keep watching it. Matt Passmore plays such a smug, unlikeable character. In real life I wouldn't give him the time of day. I guess he grows on you, and you get to accept him and almost sympathize with him. Unlike CSI or NCIS, The Glades is light- hearted and fun (like The Finder was). There are no car chases, no shootouts or prolonged fights, and what with this "idiot" protagonist it's all tongue-in-cheek. I don't care about the product placement. It's entertaining; there are no social or moral messages, you're not required to think - just watch and enjoy. But there is one thing that annoys me: Jim's relationship with Callie. Why does he put up with her? She has a great body, apart from her being short and having a hump and not exactly fine facial features. (Am I talking about the actress here? Kiele Sanchez mumbles instead of talking normally, and she has an enervating voice.) Callie can't quit her no-good husband, and yet she's jealous of Jim's Chicago colleague Jennifer working with him. Her son likes Jim but prefers his father. Jennifer going back home wasn't much of a disappointment either, for that matter. As I've said, there's no reason to watch this series. But it's entertaining. There should be more of these - without Kiele Sanchez.

This show is a complete waste of time. It's predictable and not in the least how the real world works. Also, the off handed commercials for the great space in the Kia..the heated seats...sunroof. I don't know how much Kia paid but the attention to all the meaningless amenities of the car is distracting and unbelievable. I can't believe I wasted time with this show. One of the only good things is the acting by "Callie". The relationship she has is one of the only reasons I kept watching. Although keeping her in the story is sometimes repetitious, her acting makes it worth putting up with. If only real cops would do their job half as good.

This is the kind of series I really enjoy. They have a standard format, but have taken the time to develop the characters so you feel vested in them. The writing is light and humorous which I appreciate. The sub-plot for it is also woven through it well. Even though they deal with murders, they don't over do the gore factor. To me that makes it easier to watch. I am not wondering at every turn if they're going to gross me out. Lead characters have a natural flow to their humor. When they do deal with the stress in their lives, it's believable. Overall a great way to kick back from reality and be entertained. Hope to see it continue for years, am playing catch-up with Netflix.
