I am very curious to see A&E’s upcoming police drama THE GLADES. Matt Passmore appears to have a hell of a lot of charisma and the show looks fun.
THE GLADES™ is a character-driven police procedural set in the fictional town of Palm Glade, Florida starring Australian actor Matt Passmore. Matt plays Jim Longworth, an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who is forced into exile after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain’s wife. Longworth relocates to the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where the sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. Yet life in this sleepy town is not as beautiful as it may seem.
We have a couple of videos, one with Matt Passmore takling abot his chracter and another looking at Callie (Kiele Sanchez) and Longworth (Passmore). THE GLADES debuts on Sunday, July 11th, at 10 EST.
Every character is overly cocky, arrogant and irresponsible, including kids. Who needs to see junk like this on TV. Instead of having the main character tell us how great and perfect he is at his job, let it be obvious by his actions and abilities (it's called acting the part). I won't be watching this show.
I don't totally disagree. I just posted my thoughts on the first episode. I will give it one or two more eps, but that is it.
