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?
Shades of Blue is one of the best shows on TV. Please do not cancel. Seems as if a show has quality it’s cancelled on the major networks. Not all of us have Netflicks, etc, so we depend on the main networks to provide good entertainment, not cancel!!!!!!
I cant believe this show is being cancelled??? Shades of Blue is an excellent show. One of the best shows to air in recent years.Please don’t cancel it
Jennifer Lopez is fabulous in this show. The show has a great plot and story lines. One of the best dramas going. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!!!
(corrected)
Should be renewed … silly, mindless shows continue to air while intelligent, thought provoking, well-scripted & performed shows are cancelled.

No I don’t feel it Should be cancelled. An excellent show with good plots. I for one will miss it when it ends.
sad to see it go :(…I would have MOST DEFINITELY supported a renewal season.
I was looking forward to another season of this show!! I LOVE Ray Liotta, & am VERY disappointed they cancelled a very good show!! Get rid of some of the COMEDYS!! I love the dramas & suspense, & we need more of them, & not cancellation of them! I SO agree with Amy Wilson too!!
Why are you canceling it??? Im tired of tbe shows I love being canceled! This was a great show! Have you ever considered that the networks put shows we like all on the same days and times?? You can only watch one at a time!
I hate that its being cancelled. We love that show. But everytime something we like comes out it gets cancelled. Instead the crap like Empire which we dont like is kept.
