> This may not be the golden age of hard-boiled TV, but with stuff like JUSTIFIED, IN PLAIN SIGHT, BURN NOTICE, LEVERAGE and LIE TO ME around, none of which are as good as they could be but all of which have their moments, THE GLADES hits about as hard as a Brady Bunch rerun.

I've been enjoying BURN NOTICE and LEVERAGE lately. Like you say, not perfect or super-hardboiled, but they do have their moments of grit and are both fun time-wasters. Tim Hutton's character in LEVERAGE bears some relation to Matt Scudder and other similar hard-boiled types. IN PLAIN SIGHT & LIE TO ME I've never watched. Maybe I should give them a try.
