Shades Of Blue: Season One [DVD]

This is definitely '5 star' stuff. Within the first four minutes of episode one you get hit with a surprisingly deceptive twist in events to challenge what you've already assumed the cop's personalities were like, which provides you with the certain understanding that Harlee Santos ( Jennifer Lopez ) is definitely not the nice, morally dependable, female cop you thought she'd be. Twenty minutes in you get the second belt to your senses to cause you to reappraise matters further. Thirty four minutes in another totally unexpected act reels you round again and by the fortieth minute the foundations of your expectations have been completely blown away from under your feet to ensure that you'll be watching the next twelve episodes of this really gripping story to see what can possibly happen by the end. No one is innocent except for the odd child that may appear in one scene or another. Everyone is scrabbling for survival in the quagmire of corruption they've create for themselves, and they all know the price to be paid for making just one wrong move that doesn't fit. A great performance from Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta acts out the role of the family man cop, with a sideline in psychopathic tendencies, to a magnificent standard. This is a top notch film that they, thankfully, didn't boil down to a reduced couple of hours of action. No, they needed a lot more time to get the whole story in without cutting corners. What you get is thirteen 40 minute episodes of gripping twists, turns, and slides of fortune and fate in a decidedly shady cop's world where everyone is forced to survive on their wits and the stakes are far too high for failure.

Gets off to a cracking start under the assured hands of Director Barry Levinson (Diner and Homicide - Life on the Streets). Despite some clunky dialogue at times and familiar scenery chewing by Ray Liotta the twists and turns of the plot keep one interested throughout. Particularly good to see "Adrianna" (The Sopranos) given a worthwhile supporting role after being somewhat underused in Sons of Anarchy The final episode cliff-hanger (no spoilers here) means I for one will be looking forward to Season 2.

This is a great TV series. Wasn't sure how it would go when I first watched it on TV. It is completely unlike other TV Cop shows because as the title suggests it cover degrees of corruption within the police and CIA. I won't say anything more about the plot but JLo and Ray Liotta are great together. I also like the other main female cop who works with the team. If you haven't seen it yet try it. I recommend it thoroughly.

This is a great police thriller series with great actors in it,its very enjoyable.

Wow this box set season 1 &2 blew my mind. Follow Harlee Santos as she has to spy on her boss for the FBI. The twists and turns to shady deals is fabulous. You will not be disappointed I can hardly wait for season 3 it’s outstanding.

This series has 13 episodes over 3 discs, it has a great cast Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta. Unfortunately the script isn't strong enough, what follows is a fairly average police corruption drama, its watchable but not memorable.

This Television series follows a main character played by Ray Liotta who is a bad policemen in it, and it also follows the other main character Jenifer Lopez ,the character that she plays as she tries to gather information on him and tries to put him behind bars. It does feature other people in it to that are quite well used to great effect in the series. It does have some dramatic episodes in this television series. I wouldn't call this series an action series more of a drama type American/thriller cop series. The other 2 seasons they made of this are well worth watching too.

This is a great show with good storylines, good cast and most importantly Jennifer is on it. I highly recommend checking out Season 2 there are lot of suprised, twists and turns. Every episode from Season 2 is great.

I want all seasons as they are available

.....und das in bestfotm. War sehr skeptisch als Ich die Serie startete. Bin verwöhnt bei Cop Serien. "The Shield " hat TV Geschichte geschrieben und mir war klar das danach nichts mehr ähnliches nachkommen würde. Im Falle von "Shades of Blue" erwartete ich also nichts besonders. Von Pilot an bis hin zum finalen Serien Ende wurde ich eines besseren belehrt. Spannung,welche sich von Folge zu Folge steigert. Die Produzenten wussten von Anfang an was sie auf die Beine stellen wollten. Und mit Jennifer Lopez steht die Serie auf Hammer Beinen. Sie Ist als alleierziehnde Polizisten noch nie so gut gewesen. Das Konzept der Serie stürzt sich auf die harte Realität des New Yorks 2015/16. Terror und Cops welche Immer schlechter bezahlt werden. Auch eine Alleinerziehende Mutter hat darunter kämpfen um zu überleben. Als die Korruptionsabteilung des FBI auf den Plan tritt muss sie sich entschieden zwischen Sicherheit danach oder die Korruption auf zu klären. Jennifer Lopez Zwiespalt wird Immer größer. Ihr Vertrauter und Vorgesetzter,welcher sein Team als Familie sieht,wird klasse gespielt von Ray Liotta. Die Mafia Ähnlichen Strukturen werden unterwandert und führen letztlich in den Abgrund. Die Serie ist im grunde genommen ein 9 Stunden langer Film,welcher nie künstlich in die Länge gezogen wird. Getragen von beeindruckenden Darstellern und einer Jennifer Lopez in ihrer besten Rolle. Absolut sehenswert. Habe 5 Folgen in Amazon Prime gesehen und mir danach sofort die blu rays besorgt. Diese Serie gehört einfach in die Sammlung guter TV Filme. Die Blu Ray Technik ist genauso gut wie der Film. Sound Technisch befindet man sich auf den Straßen New York Citys. Wie immer ist das englische Original um vieles besser. Zudem im basshaltigen HD-Master! Und das Bild ist auf einen 4k Flat der neuestem Generation einfach nur noch leben pur. Diese Scheiben sind jeden einzelnen Cent wert. In free TV sehe ich sowas schon lange nicht mehr. 5 Sterne. Für j. Lo! 5 Sterne. Für die blu ray Umsetzung! 5 Sterne. Für den Film!

Jennife me joue superbement bien ! Les gens qui hésitaient à regarder connaissant la superstar JLo m’ont tous affirmé avoir été bluffé par son jeu d’actrice qui a finit par exlipser sa réputation de pop star. Cette série est très prenante, tout en restant assez classique dans son déroulement !

Out of this world Season 1...Just a great movie

J'aime beaucoup Jennifer Lopez est la série est bien
