Dylan McDermott Returns to the Tube
Since The Practice vet Dylan McDermott’s last TV-series venture — the quickly canceled, man-centric ABC dramedy Big Shots — didn’t fare too well, there’s no doubt the actor is hoping for better results with his latest show. That would be ...

Gossip Girl Report —
How deep undercover does an agent go? Does he go so deep that his colleagues aren’t sure whether or not he or she has “turned”? At what point does an undercover agent draw the line? And what will that agent do to protect his identity while undercover?
Those are some of the questions that TNT’s new summer drama Dark Blue starring Dylan McDermott (The Practice) ponders for its characters as executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer takes viewers into the dark world of undercover cops in Los Angeles.
The hour-long drama will make its ...

TNT's 'Dark Blue' cops vs. 'Leverage' robbers: Who's more fun?
The Watcher —
Torture, illegal boxing and gunplay? Yes, this must be the Lifetime network! I kid, of course. "Dark Blue" (9 p.m. Central Wednesday, TNT; two stars) is the last thing you'd ever see on Lifetime. This is a show about the world of men: They're tough, they're undercover and they speak almost exclusively in cliches.
Given that this is a Jerry Bruckheimer drama -- his production company also created the "CSIs" and a number of other crime procedurals -- you won't be surprised to find that "Dark Blue" starts out with tough guys being tortured by even ...

Whichever the case may be, the show comes across, save for a bit of grit here and some testosterone there, as a watchable and less dramatic version of A&E's overly dramatic, unwatchable undercover-cop series The Beast. While ...

In the US: Wednesdays, 10/9c, TNT
We are living in a post-The Wire, post-The Shield age. You can't get much grittier than those two police shows did. Cops are one of the staples of US television, so it's telling that most cop shows have stopped trying to be gritty since they know they can't match them. Hence, we have The Mentalist, Numb3rs, The Unusuals et al, whose proximity to gritty is measurable in light years rather than centimetres.
So it's a brave show that tries to do gritty right now. Then again, what choice does a programme have on TNT – the home of dark, gritty TV that couldn't ...
