Irony in life
Is Shades Of Blue, itself!!!
The same people that swear an oath to protect and serve us
Are constantly doing contrary
Till you find out whyβ¦.like this entire unit did!
You wonderβ¦.who can help us then?
Blue, in many countries
Is a colour worn by cops like in the 64th Precinct, Street Crimes Division
And in here, itβs worn by the FBIβs Anti-Corruption Task Force
The same group of dirt-bags that has a former detective with the NYPD, Harlee Santos in it!
You may be surprised by the connection between Harlee, her unit commander, Lt. Matt Wozniak and her daughter, Cristina
Wozniak loves these 2 like they are his own flesh
I rarely see that in cop-circles or army-circles
I donβt know about you
The rest of the dirty-cop unit has Detective Tess Nazario
Who later on, gets assigned patrol duty for something that didnβt sit well with Lt. Donnie Pomp, from Internal Affairs
There is also Detective Michael Loman
A rookie, judging by the experience his colleagues on the unit, have
Detective Marcus Tufo is another one youβll meet along the way
He was the most interesting one of them all, to me
Detective Carlos Espadaβ¦.I will let you be the judge in what you think about him
Not forgetting, Detective David Saperstein, who rolls with them for a while till Wozniak feels he is the mole and kills him, ignoring the real-mole at hand, who will have known by then!!!
Personally speaking, the very amusing parts came in
When the NYPDβs Intelliegence Unit comes knocking on their door
Sending them in a spiral
They panic
And then, that is when the FBI picks up the trail they leave behind
You will see agents like Robert Stahl and Molly Chen
Those two are led by Special Agent In-Charge, Gail Baker, donβt forget that!
In there, you will also the FBI chasing after its own
Led by Special Agent Katie Myers going after Stahl, who is now sssoooo βoff-the-tangentβ
Along the way, former and current associates of Wozniak will also turn up
To collect what is rightfully theirs
Like the Ortiz family and Councilwoman Julia Ayres!!!!
So many peopleβ¦so many shades!
Enjoy.
I really want to watch this. I love the cast and have heard good things about it. Adding it to my list. Thank you!
ππ youβre welcome.
Might try watching this. I’m into cop shows that have good story-telling apart from just crime-solving. Thanks for sharing this. Also — JLO IS ROCKING THAT HAIRDO!!!
ππ yyyyeeeaaahhhh!
Would you sau shades of blue is “just another cop show” or does ot stand a chance against the classics?
ππ itβs a show of its own.
I always love your take on things. while I have not seen this show, you certainly make me want to check it out.
ππ I am glad to hear that!
This will be a very interesting movie. Have never heard about it. Have to try and watch it. Thanks for sharing
ππ youβre welcome.
Shades of Blue is one of those shows that really draws you into the gray area of life. It really highlights how people are neither all good nor all bad.
π©π yyyeeeaaahhhh!
I have heard about this show and seen previews, but have never actually seen it. I do very much enjoy cop shows. With all that is going on in the world, I wonder what will happen to cop shows as we know them today.
π©π yyyeeaaahhh!
Iβm familiar with this show but have never watched. Iβll give it ago. I love all things JLo.
ππ then, youβre in for a treat!
I haven’t seen Shades of Blue as yet but this post does make me want to check it out. It sounds quite interesting by recognizing that police are still human and vulnerable to temptation and corruption like anyone else. Hence the importance of an effective Anti-Corruption Task Force or Internal Affairs division to address this. Looking forward to watching the series soon.
ππ youβll love it!
Ok now I have a longer list of movie to watch, haha. Thanks for sharing this!
ππ you are welcome.
That sounds like an interesting movie to check out. I’ve been trying to find shows to watch to spend the time.

I saw another article about this a while ago and noted that I wanted to watch it. I think my boys and I will enjoy it and plan to start this week! Thanks for the reminder!
ππ you’re welcome.
I watched it and it was really good. I love cop show.
ππ
I love Jennifer Lopez! It’s interesting to me that you would not see many examples of cops and soldiers loving each other and their families like they are flesh and blood too. I see that all the time. so don’t worry – they exisit π
ππ ooohhh….thatβs good to know!
Watched this show, especially because Jennifer Lopez is one of my favourites. It really has many shades, both good and bad. Like your detailed review.
ππ thank you!
I haven’t watched Shades of Blue yet. It looks interesting!
ππ it is a very interesting one!
I didn’t know this was a show. That’s a wonderful cast.
ππ it is!
i loved shades of blue. i was so sad when it ended. i wish there were more seasons.
Yyyeeesssss!!! Such a good show.
You know all the good shows. I only seen 2 episodes of this I should of continued to follow through.
πππππππ no, I don’t.
Shades of Blue is such a fantastic show. I watched every episode when it aired on television. SO good.
πππΏ
I love watching Jennifer Lopez. I’m definitely adding this to my watch list!
πππΏ
This looks like a great series, especially with Jennifer Lopez in it! She’s a great actress, I loved her. Got to check this out and will definitely finish it!
πππΏ
Not heard of this series before and I am always looking for something new to watch, so I will deffo be checking this out x
πππΏ
I haven’t heard of this! Sounds like an entertaining show though.
ππ it is.
I didn’t know Ray Liotta and Jennifer Lopez worked together. Super sad that he passed. One of those things in the news that is shocking and sad to read.
π©π©π©
Someone mentioned this was good the other day. I’ve not seen many cop dramas but it seems interesting.
πππΏ
Great review! You really made me want to watch it!
πππΏ
I watched a couple of episodes of it and JLO’s acting is still commendable. However, I understand your thoughts about the irony of it. People who know the law are oftentimes the one who violates it.
πππΏ
I haven’t watch this movie. Perhaps I should try.
πππΏ
oh wow, I see familiar names. Is this a new series? Where is it on? I’m not a JLo the actress fan, but that’s mainly because I think most of the movies she’s starred in are not suited for her sans one – Enough. This one, I think, fits her more. I’d love to see this.
