“The Glades“ became the most-watched drama series in [A&E] network history, averaging 3.1 million total viewers. These ratings propelled A&E to ad-supported cable’s number one network on Sunday nights among total viewers.
In “The Glades,” Matt Passmore stars as Jim Longworth, an attractive and brilliant Chicago homicide detective with a reputation for being difficult. When his captain wrongfully accuses him of sleeping with his wife and shoots him, he is exiled and forced to relocate. He lands in the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, outside of the Florida Everglades, where sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. But Longworth soon finds out this town isn’t quite as idyllic as he originally thought, when murders keep piling up. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge.
In the Season Premiere, the daughter of a notorious Cuban mobster turns up dead in a Little Havana alley, and Longworth and the rest of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement must solve her murder to prevent an all-out war between two rival mob families. Meanwhile, Callie (Kiele Sanchez) prepares for her husband’s release from prison.Share

Reviews by Miss America “USA” When A&E advertised their new series THE GLADES, it looked very witty and I decided to give it a try. After I saw the first episode, I wondered if they could keep the light homicide clever stories of “who done it” going with relatively unknown players. By the second episode I was hooked. I loved the cute bantering back in forth and quick one liners. All of the characters look like they “work well with others” even though the main detective, Jim Longworth says he does not. Everyone plays their part to a “tee” and I love the tense sexual relationship Jim and Callie (Kiele Sanchez) have during each episode.
For a person like myself who loves real crime stories, this series is light with a crime to solve every hour. When I am asked what the series is like, I always come back with THE GLADES feeling much like the other classic series THE CLOSER with the male/female detective reversed. I will be purchasing this DVD as soon as it is available so I can not only see the episodes again but this time without certain words cut out. That was my only negative of A&E running the series. They bleeped out words G rated. I congratulate everyone on the THE GLADES for a job well done, another year renewed and for another fan who will be watching! The Glades at Amazon June 14th.
