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?
One of my favourites.
Best cop show in a long time, J Lo proves she is great actress and Liotta is amazing in this role. With so much crap on TV was sorry to see it end.
Only watched because Ray Liotta was starring in it, and he is a great actor and I liked the plot. Did not think JL such great actor, she doesn’t have to pull the plug on it, get someone to replace her. I liked the show .
Why cancel? This was a great show…one of my favorites.
Why cancel this? One of my favorite shows.

I looked forward to watching Shades of Blue. I haven’t had a series I have enjoyed this much, since Desperate Housewives. I am so disappointed it will not return. 🙁 I love the cast and the show is very entertaining.
I really hope Shades of Blue comes back for a fourth season. One of the best shows on TV in a long, long time.
This was by far the greatest tv cop show that was more real than most people know.
I am truly sorry that it was canceled , big , huge mistake.
Shades of Blue needs to continue. One of the best programs in a long time. What is wrong with you people?
This is one of the best shows in a long time, please, if the actors wants, renew it!!!!!
an excellent show with a GREAT cast! I hate to see it go.
