Dark Blue Review
Dark Blue: What a Difference a Year Makes!
… What a difference a year makes…. McDermott has found his mojo. He now exudes sex appeal and all it took was a little helper named Helfer. Yes Tricia Helfer has joined the cast and she is the missing ingredient. Around her, McDermott’s character, Carter Shaw, has blossomed.
Helfer plays FBI Agent Alex Rice and she is the kick the series has needed. She arrives on the scene as a take hold kind of girl and Shaw’s heart raises the white flag. There is steam surrounding these two whenever they are in the same scene….
Dark Blue is executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. It has all the traits of one of his productions – car chases, action sequences, dangerous situations. If we find out it was him who decided to hire Helfer then we will know he is a true genius. Whoever made that decision in my mind saved the show. Dark Blue has gone from an “I don’t want to watch it” show to an “I must see it” show. That’s real progress!
Dark Blue premieres back to back episodes on TNT, Wednesday, August 4 at 9PM.
