Shades of Blue (TV Series)

"There’s little doubt that 'Shades of Blue' would not stand out from the other TV cop shows were it not for Lopez. She’s so good, you can’t help wishing someone would write her a better show." 

"'Shades of Blue' is a reminder of what a strong screen presence Lopez has really always been (...) but also what a fine actress she can be, shifting between strength and vulnerability with ease. The downside is that 'Shades of Blue' is, as a whole, not a very good show." 

"Ms. Lopez and Mr. Liotta pair well, and the early episodes certainly have a pulse. The key will be how long the conceit holds up." 

"'Shades of Blue' is reasonably compelling (...) Nevertheless, it’s too bad 'Blue' couldn’t bring at least a few new, more colorful hues." 

"A less fun, less interesting and a far less appealing version of the groundbreaking series 'The Shield'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"
