Feb 26, 2016This cop procedural is as nauseatingly bland as unoriginal. The actors are ken and barbie cut outs , the storytelling is laughable. Procedural s like detroit 187 and my favourite SOUTHLAND set that bar way up there.
My opinion? go seek another show . -

Jan 11, 2016“Shades of Blue” is a later day version of “Public Morals.”
Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta are the bookends that hold the show together but viewers have to wonder how long this cat and mouse game can play out as the head of the crooked team of cops (Liotta) finds out who the FBI informant is.
As for Drea DeMateo, her character should be delegated to a guest-starring role. -
Jan 29, 2016wow there can't be a good show on without perverted sex really come on!! why why why Hollywood I expected more entertaining tv. I guess as much as I was looking forward to watching this show I definitely will not be able to watch any more. really a cop getting a blowjob from a random man in a bar. what are you people teaching the youth watching this show. really disappointed. not a show for me.

Jan 7, 2016Move over Laura, "The Mysteries of Lopez" is here.. Uninspiring cop procedural that feels way too familiar. Lopez fans might find this appealing but this is more Shades of Dull and Generic for everyone else.
-
Jan 8, 2016That was the best thing I ever seen. Lopez's acting is so good, and with Liotta in the cast, it's just great. Great production. great screenplay, great acting. Everyone should watch it.

Feb 12, 2016The shows first episode was really good and has gone backwards each week after.
Not worthy of a hour of my life anymore...

Feb 6, 2016The acting is not bad. I enjoy Jennifer Lopez. The writing is horrific. What I thought was going to be a potentially good series took a dumb turn on the most recent episode & there is no recovery at this point. I will never watch again. I wish I could unsee what I have seen. I don't have much free time to watch TV & this wasted my time.

Jan 8, 2016Great acting. Lopez is amazing as Harlee Santos. The series is very intense and fast paced. Definitely I can't wait to watch 2nd episode. I highly recommend, it's not typical cop show.

Jan 7, 2016Great acting, Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta are perfectly suited to each other. The series is very intriguing, "Shades of Blue" has great potential. 10 out of 10

Jan 28, 2016Liotta gay??? Gimme a break! Started out with great potential, super star power, but is steadily sliding into a script with no credibility and no redeeming value. Too bad. Not worth sticking with.

Jan 21, 2016I found it very entertaining, I thought the story was great and I think it can only get better. I think the acting is the centerpiece of the show. Liotta and Lopez are amazing.
-
Jan 31, 2016This is a good show and is very intense with twist and turns. Jennifer Lopez is amazing as Harlee, I don't think she is recognized as she should be. I'm glued to the tv every week and can't get enough.

May 31, 2016The rookie cop needs to die already...if you want to see a good cops on the fringe show, then just check out The Shield or Chicago PD. They need to stop making Ray Liotta's character so dumb...and JLo should have already put a bullet in the fed who's handling her. I'm just saying.

Jan 22, 2016Fantastic new TV drama. What makes this show different and better than most is the terrific acting by Liotta and Lopez. To me, it's what carries the show. While the storyline is good, the personal interaction between Lopez and Liotta is excellent

Sep 23, 2020It is not influenced by the opinion / criticism of the media. The series is good and makes us very curious to follow the entire first season.Jennifer is very convincing in her role as well as the cast.
-
Feb 27, 2016It took a couple of episodes to really get into it and have understanding of the characters but as the show has progressed, the little twists and turns make for a very enjoyable experience. It pulls no punches and is a gritty show that is still wrapped up in typical Hollywood style gloss that manages to sit nicely in the middle. I'll be watching to the end of the season for sure.

Apr 7, 2016Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the show. Lots of twists and turns and some good drama. I'll watch season 2. Very curious where they go in season 2 because of the way season 1 ended.

Apr 8, 2017The acting is fair at best which is surprising with such a talented cast. The story line is very hard to swallow especially for anyone who knows anything about NYPD procedures which makes it totally unbelievable and unwatchable. I don't know who their NYPD consultants are but they need to be fired.
-
Sep 28, 2017great performance, the commitment that makes jennifer the role of harlee is to admire, the plot that has the story is the classic drama of corrupt cops, makes interesting the series of events that happens and what harlee would be able to get to do in order to protect his own, simply a fascinating
-
Oct 18, 2017Not bad. I've been watching this show from the very beginning. I actually like J-Lo better as an actress than a singer... even though I hear she's an arrogant **** Anyways... she's still, she's still Jenny on the cock!

Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that Shades of Blue has no shading in character or story, and is more interested in reiterating transposed views of family values than dealing with the tough and often very ugly subject matter it purports to confront.
-
Yes, this is "The Shield," with more gloss and less shock, and the story starts to strain as Harlee's FBI handler Warren Kole (Robert Stahl) shows an unhealthy interest in his undercover agent and the series worryingly starts to veer into "Enough"/"The Boy Next Door" territory. But the increasingly fraught dance between Harlee and Wozniak is absorbing and even occasionally nail-biting, and certainly reason enough to give Shades a shot.
-
The whole cast is pretty much perfect for the story Shades of Blue is trying to tell. Lopez makes a fine lead--she's tough and unsentimental here, and even though they've made her look gorgeous, you don't necessarily think of her as a glamorous character. But it's Liotta's show.
