“The Glades,” a cops drama, began filming in April, and is set to debut this Sunday on A&E. Creator and executive producer Clifton Campbell, known for his work on “White Collar,” “Profiler,” and “21 Jump Street,” grew up in Hialeah. He spoke to the Juice about South Florida’s unique charms.

The Glades Show Description: In “The Glades,” Passmore stars as Jim Longworth, an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former Captain’s wife is forced into exile. Longworth relocates to the sleepy, middle of nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where the sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. Yet life in this sleepy town is not as beautiful as it may seem.
Jim Longworth, the Chicago detective whose relocation to Florida is at the center of the new A&E series The Glades, isn't the most sympathetic character. In fact, he's a bit of an abrasive know-it-all. But that's just fine with the actor who plays him, Matt Passmore, who's had plenty of experience playing characters who aren't always likeable. In anticipation of The Glades' premiere Sunday at 10/9c, Passmore talked with TVGuide.com about what makes the show unique, and how being an Australian playing a transplanted Chicagoan helps him relate to his character.
Tonight’s 10pm ET pilot premiere introduces Jim as he begins working with his new colleagues on the state police force during his first Florida case: a murder involving a beheaded woman found in/up (take your pick) a creek. Ouch!
Check out what The Glades is all about in the following series preview. As usual these days, basic cable’s latest looks pretty darn good. Who needs expensive premium cable?
Do not forget to watch ‘The Glades’ on DISH Network this Sunday and when Matt becomes your new TV heartthrob, do not forget that we told you.
Matt Passmore has claimed that his new show The Glades is "kooky". The series focuses on Passmore's character Jim, a police officer from Chicago who moves to Florida after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain's wife. "The Glades is based in [the fictitious town] Palm Glades," Passmore told Entertainment Tonight. "It's where rural Florida meets big city. And in amongst that whole area is a lot of weird and kooky crime. A cop doesn't normally have to deal with an alligator at his crime scene."
