TV show description:
This FBI and police procedural crime drama is set in New York City. It features a work “family” of Brooklyn detectives.
Following their leader, Lt. Matt Wozniak (Ray Liotta), this team crosses the line, to protect their precinct and each other. Can these cops keep their streets safe, without arousing the Feds’ suspicions?
Detective Harlee Santos (Jennifer Lopez) is a single mom. When her new colleague, Michael Loman (Dayo Okeniyi), kills an unarmed man, she covers it up.
FBI Special Agent Robert Stahl (Warren Kole) arrests her. Using her daughter as a bargaining chip, Stahl gets Harlee to act as an informant.
Harlee does what she can to keep her child and protect her coworkers, while still avoiding arrest. As he gets to know Harlee, Stahl fixates on her.
Wozniak realizes there is an informant in their midst. He won’t rest until he finds out who it is.
Concerned he will figure her out, Harlee suggests polygraphing the entire crew. That does not end well.
Reviewing tapes for a case, Wozniak watches a recording of his first meeting with Harlee. It documents something they have kept buried.
Tess (Drea de Matteo) tries to cope with her cheating spouse, with help from Espada (Vince Laresca).
Harlee gives Stahl the evidence from Tess and Espada’s unofficial investigation of a crime, instead of delivering the goods that would incriminate Wozniak. When confronted by her lieutenant, will she be able to bluff her way out?
Series Finale:
Episode #36 — By Virtue Fall
Harlee faces a police commission as Wozniak and the crew scramble to help her from the outside.
First aired: August 19, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Shades of Blue TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Don’t cancel
Please keep this show ongoing. I don’t like any of the cop drama shows, as they all seem to be the same. This is the only one that is different. I am glued to the tv for this one.
I feel ripped off I was waiting for the last episode and I am still waiting WTH?
Love the show, please don’t cancel.
Please do not cancel the show.
Please do not cancel the show, really good.
Please do not cancel this show.
when is the finale been waiting for 2 weeks?????????????
Yes, Shades of Blue, should be renew, it’s a great show with lots of twist, which makes you want to keep watching, to find out, Who, Why, and What the ___? Bring it back, please.
Shades of blue should absolutely be continued. Considering the real life police dramas on our streets every day the producers of shades of blue should not be at a loss for what to write about.
Agree!!! Renew this show!! Love it!!! Best dramatic series ever!! The whole cast is amazing!!!! Love JLO!!!
I agree this show should be renewed. I’m not at all a fan of dramatic series but I LOVE Shades of Blue. Keeps me on the edge of my seat every episode.
Renew the show. It is fabulous.
Renew this show. This is a great show. You can’t stop it here.
Fantastic, believable show. Best cop show since The Shield. Ray Liotta is phenomenal. I did not have high expectations for Jennifer Lopez, but was I shocked by her talent. She nails the role!
