Dark Blue Audience Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Angelus2 A LAPD cop runs a task force that goes deep undercover...I mean deep...So deep that the line of what is right and wrong is blurred to the point that there is no coming back...(Hang on a second)....I swear that's the plot for Miami Vice...I barely got through the pilot and I have to say, there is far too much to forgive...I like cop shows...I like the undercover aspect...I like action..But this is just....It's the 80's Miami Vice show that has no place in todays world...I mean even Miami Vice evolved with the underrated but amazing 2006 reboot.None of the actors do any justice to the corny lines and the characters...I've read comments were people have said that it's totally realistic...C'mon, don't make me laugh. Another excessive violent cop show without a good solid story line...
keefus-1 When I first sat down to watch this show I was expecting another formulaic, "fast and loose with the rules but always just on the right side of the line" cop show. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised.Dark Blue is indeed refreshingly dark; the characters are predictably tortured souls with an interesting mix of personalities and histories that add to the depth of the plot lines, they are all superbly written and acted to the degree that sometimes the plot becomes something of a happenstance as we follow the personal journeys of the protagonists.the plots themselves have all been seen before in numerous guises, but Dark Blue puts a new and slightly twisted slant on them that can fool you into thinking that you have never seen them before, but it is worth remembering that the case is not really the important thing here; it is what the case does to the characters that defines the show.All in all, I would recommend this show to anyone who wants to watch a new and gritty take on a genre that has not yet been pushed to these limits.
kimberly-turner This show had promise, but it gets worse each time I watch it. The male actors are fine, but the actress has been badly miscast. Her acting is alright, but she's in the wrong roll. The show is trying too hard to be serious and dark with dark difficult characters. They pour on the posturing and hostility too strong and too often. With the third episode they started shoving sexual tension and now we have a cop soap-opera. After the third episode I debated watching the next episode, but started it and stopped it within a few minutes. I won't be watching again. It's too bad as I wanted to like this show, but the writing is so poor it's just not worth the effort to suffer through it.
zttizzl Just finished watching the season premiere of Dark Blue and decided to do a quick review over the show.Dylan McDermott... Just isn't right for this role. Every other movie I've seen him in, he naturally plays the part, but in this... I don't like him. Something in the way he acts is different. This may be construed as a minor complaint, but if it's with the protagonist, it foretells of other evils to come.Aycox wasn't seen enough in the pilot to really form an opinion over. I'm hoping for the best, but gearing up for the less-than-best.The other two actors are really in their element, aside from the fact that this is basic cable. It seems to me that if the show had been on HBO, they'd be using systematic foul language and vulgar terms. But the censorship doesn't detract from the pilot as much as you'd think.All in all, a decent show to watch. It's not as good as say, the original Law & Order, or the original CSI. But it's definitely better than all the crap TNT has been spewing out lately, such as Bones and Charmed.Perhaps this series could develop into something more over time, with the actors fitting into their roles more comfortably (especially McDermott) and a certain style developing. But my prediction is that the strong first season will be epically ruined in the "shocking new season" which usually happens with modern TV shows. Do what I did with this series: Hope for the best, but expect somewhat worse.
