If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, The Glades is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu right now. 4 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 139 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Matt Passmore's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

There is a reason The Glades keeps coming up in conversation. The Glades treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. This crime series follows Jim, a Chicago cop who gets kicked off the force after being shot and wrongfully accused by his ex-captain of having an affair with his wife. After receiving his payout, Jim decides to moves to a small Florida town to join the state police. Matt Passmore and Kiele Sanchez lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. Across 4 seasons (2010–2013), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The Glades is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, The Glades will keep you hooked. Midsomer Murders is the obvious comparison, but The Glades earns its own place alongside it. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Matt Passmore anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

The Glades wrapped up in 2013, created by Clifton Campbell — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
