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?
great show, I looked forward to watching it every week, sure hope it wasn’t cancelled
Shades of Blue is another one of the great cop shows on network tv that for some reason they are considering cancelling. If they cancel this series, I am considering dropping cable tv altogether!! Why do they hook people on a great tv series, only to cancel it when viewers seem to watch it faithfully? Shame on NBC if they drop this series!
I watch very little TV. I watch Madame Secretary,Designated Survivor, and Shades of Blue. ONLY. Of these Shades of Blue is my far and away favorite!
Please renew!
Love this show. It is my favorite. Please renew.
We loved it please return show
My wife and I loved it. Please renew
Love Shades of Blue. Renew!!!
I am hoping Shades of Blue will have another new series, I looked forward to watching it, I Love it !
I think this is the best police drama series besides Blue Bloods that I have seen since Blue Bloods aired on CBS.
I love the show and hope that it will continue on. Great story lines each week. I hope that they do not cancel this show as they seem to cancel every good show that has been on tv.
RENEWED
