    Shades of Blue is a wannabe edgy cop show, starring a leading lady who avoids edge, airing on a network with an aversion to edge. Still, it keeps trying.

    It’s too repetitive and lackadaisical in dealing with the premise’s been-there-done-that feel (if it ever does), and dips into dark drama are misfires nearly across the board.
