Let's be realistic.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

...at least a very, very fun show. It's such a shame they canceled. I just happened to give it a try in Netflix, and I got hooked. Bring it back!

The story of The Glades is one of consistency, as the show was consistent to a fault. From the series premiere to it's finale, across four seasons, nothing ever changed. When the show went into re-runs, the only way you knew what season you were watching, was by seeing how big Uriah Shelton was, it had become that ridiculous. What could they have done with an episonic police drama that hadn't been done before, not much, but something would have better than nothing, as like most, near the end, I just completely lost interest.Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) is a homicide detective from Chicago, who doesn't like to play by the rules. He has his own way of doing things and it earned him a ticket out of town. He relocated to the Florida Everglades, expecting quiet days at work and weekends of golf in the sun, but murder happens everywhere. Each week Longworth finds unique homicides and ends up doing battle with everyone from deranged soccer moms to international drug smugglers, as he tries to keep the people of Florida safe.One of the main focuses of the show is Jim's feelings for a nurse/medical student Callie (Kiele Sanchez), who often gets involved in his cases. Jim has become a mentor to her young son, Jeff (Uriah Shelton) and would love to be with Callie, but she can never seem to finalize her divorce or balance her life. It is a recurring theme throughout the series that never seems to get resolved and becomes unbelievably frustrating after 50 episodes of the same thing.The show always starts with a crime, Jim investigates, jokes with the medical examiner and geeky forensic guy, and then works the case at the same time doing his back and fourth with Callie and Jeff, and that's it! There were never any recurring storylines, never any changes, nothing to keep people interested from season to season! How about a cliffhanger or a ballbuster of a new boss? Maybe someone should have gotten shot and their future left up in the air? Ever heard of a serial killer? There was never anything but the current case. The comedy was always there and at first the back and fourth with Jim and Callie was great, but when you're doing the same thing four years later, who cares already?The bottom line, this was a show that had potential, I liked the characters, the setting was fairly unique, and there were a couple of really talented new faces associated with this show. However, The Glades was happy with the status quo and didn't take any risks of any kind. It quickly grew stale, the ratings dropped, and now it's just another failed forgotten cop show streaming on Netflix.

The Glades, Yes it is a cop show where you have a Detective trying to solve the case just in the nick of time but there is more to it then what it seems.The Glades centers around Detective Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) as he has some interesting ways of solving the case. He also develops a relationship with Callie (Kiele Sanchez) He also gets help with Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez), Daniel Green (Jordan Wall) while answering to his boss Colleen Manus (Michelle Hurd) .Now this show is just one you had to watch to believe it feature some interesting episodes while some might be too much for some but still each episode had Jim looking into some of the most interesting cases of any detective. Also the writing is very well written with some good character development. Also the cast have the connection that you can tell they enjoy playing their characters. Each episode just always makes it interesting because you never know what is gonna take place next. If you enjoy police shows but with a twist then The Glades is something for you to enjoyWith strong stories, good characters and plots where you have to watch to believe then you'll be having some good times with this show

I love crime shows, and swallow them raw.This one is OK, nice plots, good characters. But as is often the case, it gets bogged down by the sub-plots. They take over.The main character is funny, but abrasive, can be a bit too much. When the romance angle takes over, he stops being funny and is just a pain.Beautiful setting, the glades makes for a nice backdrop, and the NY cop in the beautiful setting works for me.He is an unconventional character, you would figure a hard boiled, hard hitting inner city type, this one is the emotional, intuitive type. Nice twist in character.As for the plots, the eps, they barely avoid the cookie cutter. Better than average, but not by much.Main complaint would be how the romance takes over, and the plots fade.Watch the first two seasons, they are quite good, but then leave it.
