The Glades is an American crime drama television series that aired from 2010 to 2013 on A&E. The show stars Matt Passmore as Jim Longworth, a Chicago detective who moves to the fictional town of Palm Glade, Florida to start a new life after being falsely accused of having an affair with his captain's wife.

As Jim starts his new job with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, he quickly realizes that life in Palm Glade is not as laid-back as he had anticipated. The town, nestled in the heart of the Everglades, is rife with murders, drug busts, and incidents of alligators and snakes attacking the locals. Jim finds himself constantly at odds with his colleagues, who are not too keen on his unorthodox investigative techniques.

The show follows Jim as he solves a series of murders and crimes that take place in Palm Glade. Each episode is a self-contained story, with its own unique characters and plotlines. However, there is an ongoing narrative that runs throughout the series, with some cases referencing earlier episodes and contributing to overarching storylines.

Despite the show's heavy theme of crime and violence, there is a lighthearted tone that is maintained throughout. Jim is portrayed as a witty and charming character, who often uses humor to diffuse tense situations. He is also not above bending the rules to get the job done, which often puts him at odds with his more straight-laced colleagues.

One of the most significant supporting characters in the show is Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez), Jim's partner in the FDLE. Carlos is a loyal and hardworking partner who often serves as Jim's voice of reason. He is the yin to Jim's yang and provides a necessary counterbalance to Jim's sometimes brash personality.

Another important character in the show is Callie Cargill (Kiele Sanchez), a medical student who becomes Jim's love interest. Callie is a native of Palm Glade and is portrayed as a fiercely independent and intelligent woman who is not afraid to stand up to Jim's sometimes overbearing nature.

Throughout the series, the relationship between Jim and Callie becomes a key plot point, with several episodes focusing on the ups and downs of their romance. However, the show is careful not to make their relationship the central focus, with most of the attention remaining firmly on Jim's investigations.

One of the unique features of the show is its setting in the Florida Everglades. The stunning natural beauty of the area is prominently featured in each episode, with shots of swamps, marshes, and alligators adding to the show's overall atmosphere. The setting also helps to enhance the sense of isolation that is felt by Jim and the other characters, many of whom are refugees from other parts of the country.

Overall, The Glades is an entertaining and engaging crime drama that combines the grittiness of a procedural with the lightheartedness of a romantic comedy. The show's cast of characters is well-rounded and likable, with each episode offering a new glimpse into their lives. The Florida Everglades setting is a standout feature of the show, adding to the overall atmosphere and sense of place. The Glades is a must-watch for fans of the crime drama genre who are looking for a show that is equal parts thrilling and enjoyable.

The Glades is a series that ran for 4 seasons (49 episodes) between July 11, 2010 and on A&E
