Shades of Blue A Season Finale that's Must See




Ever since January 7th, there has been no other show getting major buzz on Thursday nights at 10/9c like Shades of Blue. For week after week, the show has been thrilling us with unbelievable moments. And as tonight's the season finale, it's gonna be the mother of all season finales.

If you don't know or haven't heard of Shades of Blue, it's about a NYPD detective Harlee Santos (played by Jennifer Lopez), who's a single mother dealing with financial issues. She gets caught by the FBI anti-corruption task force and has to decide whether to do the right thing for her daughter or cover up for her corrupt co-workers.

From the moment episode one ends, you're on this ride that you can't and don't want to get off. There are so many twist and turns for this cop drama that it's not your typical cop drama at all. It's basically a character driven cop drama.

Lopez gives her best performance in this series. I'm already given her an Emmy nod. She's been nothing but unbelievable and half the time it's not only her but this great ensemble cast. Ray Liotta, gives a great performance as Harlee's captain, mentor and friend. So does Drea de Matteo (The Sopranos) too. And Warren Kole (Common Law) gives an amazing performance that gets into your skin as the FBI anti-corrupt task force leader and Harlee's handler. With great acting comes great writing and this series has great writing.

Tonight is the season finale, if you missed episodes you can download the NBC app and watch the full season episodes. Less than a month after the series premiered, the show gets picked up for a second season.

What's being said about the finale is that you need to brace yourself. Lopez tells The Jess Cagle Interview with People Magazine and Entertainment Weekly editorial director, "All I can say is that I don't know where we go from here. When we were doing the last scenes for the last episode in that last week,  I was like 'what the hell are we doing?' Oh my god, it's riveting. I'll tell you that much."

You can catch the season finale of Shades of Blue tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
