Florida murder presented as mystery but with humor + romance, multi-plots
There's no doubt `The Glades' compares to `Midsomer Murders.' Skilled copper, multiple crimes, additional plots, romantic moments, and comedy also in the mix. The Glades takes place in Palm Glades, a fictitious small town Florida (somewhere near the Everglades), while Midsomer is rural English villages.

Also expect many bathing beauties--it's Florida. Like Midsomer, Glade makes use of MANY guest stars, too numerous to mention. Includes contemporary music worked into the story. Murder solving is by the episode but other relationship plots are ongoing from the beginning pilot in Season 1 through this set of stories.

Great Entertaiment ! ! !
So neat to have a cop show with a twist. The Glades is such a great show. I saw one episode on TV one night when i was on a trip. Came straight home and logged on to AMAZON to hunt for the show. Downloaded both seasons and it has become the new favorite at my house. My wife and teenage son and I have watched one episode every night and now we are waiting for Season 3 !! Love this show and love Amazon. Awesome.
Good on So Many Levels
Anyone interested in a very good cop series will be hooked after at most two episodes. Watched both seasons in under a week. Good stories, good actors... a pleasure.
