Description:Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore) is a Chicago homiide detective who moves to the small Florida town of Palm Glades. His medical examiner is Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez). When the series begins, Jim meets nurse Callie Cargill (Kiele Sanchez) whose husband in in prison. By season two, Kiele divorces her husband. During season three, she's training at a hospital in Atlanta while Jim works with an attractive detective named Jennifer. In season four, Jim and Callie are engaged. The final episode, which was supposed to be a cliff-hanger, has Jim getting shot by an unknown assailant a half hour before the wedding.

Reviews for The Glades

Review - Glades, The

The first season was great. Jim had a sarcastic wit and wise-guy attitude that was entertaining to watch. By season three, things had dulled down quite a bit. The introduction of Jennifer, who walked around crime scenes in stiletto heels and short, tight dresses, was just an obvious plot device. By season four, things were pretty lame. Every episode seemed identical. There was a murder and three chief suspects. Jim took turns berating them and arresting them until he finally managed to narrow it down to just one of them. It was a little annoying to have the main character lying bleeding on the floor at the end of the final episode, but the show was dying anyway.
