Dark Blue on TNT

So the first few episodes have aired in the past 3 weeks and tonight a new one should be airing at 10 on TNT. Dark Blue is a crime drama about a private sector of the police force, which is led by Carter Shaw, played by Dylan McDermot. This group is charged with undercover missions which relies on their abilities to decieve criminals into believing they belong and at times the "blue suit" can get lost.

The first premiere introduces us to this world of concern, where Dean is under and has cut off all communications. Which in their business is never a good sign. Lt. Carter Shaw takes this time to hire a new girl for the team and sends Ty back under with some questionable stipulations. Anyhow the crew spends time attempting figure out where Dean's loyalties lie. After setting up a meet and staging as bank employees, they finally figure out what the deal is with gang boss, eventually they are able to make the cuff. Yet it doesn't quite end there, it turns out that Dean has a secret stash that looks highly suspicious.

In "Guns, Strippers and Wives," Ty potential endangers his life, the bust of weapon dealers and his wife's life. While under he makes a ridicoulous mistake and spends the night with his wife because it's her birthday. From this mistake the dealers get suspicious and kidnapp Ty and set a deadline for the money that proves very difficult to come up with. After some dangerous dealings, Dean goes to his stash. Though Carter questions him about with no definite answer they move forward to save Ty and his wife.

On the most recent episode "Purity," viewers are given a look into Jaimie's past when it becomes nearly impossible to pin a former DA turned drug dealer. We discover that Jaime was a drug addict which led to her criminal past and need to change her name along with confirming that Carter is a hard boss that just wants results. This leads to Jaime doing a dose of coke and forming a sorta secret bond with Dean.

Finally, to give you a bit more insight into this new crime drama, I wanted to give you a look at each character and their motivations. So, here it goes!

Cater Shaw. He's the man in charge and makes all the decisions ultimately. Currently there isn't much known about him. You just know that he was a cop and somehow ended up with a special agent department. His character is what'd you call the big question mark of the show.

Yet another Dean, who you never are quite sure is just putting on a bad boy image or is really a bad boy you can't trust. What intrigues me about Dean Bendis is the uneaseness I feel when he goes under. Constantly he's creating these criminal characters and you're unsure of whether he will turn and no longer be a trustworthy member of Carter's team. Especially with his secret stash that doesn't only contain cash but also drugs and weapons. Supposedly he keeps that stuff nearby so that he can be perform his job yet I still have wonder. Considering the fact that he told Jaimie last week when she went under to base some of what she tells them on some truth.

Jaimie Allen is the girl with a jaded past. Formerly a drug addict and criminal--brought on by her undesirable habits. She changed her name after cleaning up her life and became a patrol cop where Carter found her. She also ditched her family because apparantly they were also trouble. She's also the newcomer to the team and just wants to prove herself even if she stumbles at this feat. Personally everytime I see her character I can't help but think Kristen Bell could have been a good Jaimie; but then again that could just be cause I miss seeing her on my screen.

Ty Curtis, the newlywed who seems to be torn cause when he has his ring on, he's completely devoted but when he doesn't...he has a tendency to seek romance. This definitey could present hazard to his relationships and job performance. Finally I'd say his the guy who makes rookie mistakes even if he isn't a rookie. As Dean said "You know Ty he wants it all." Well in this dark world, you can't have it all and if you try you may have to pay fo it dearly.
