"The Glades"

Every so often, this trailer will pop up on Foxtel, announcing the imminent arrival of The Glades (premieres December 5 on W, I think).

Australia's Matt Passmore (Underbelly, McLeod's Daughters - which I could get even in Bangkok!) has headed west to land this hot role in a show that has apparently had rave reviews in the US.

Passmore, as Jim Longworth is a homicide detective who is great at his job but (as is usually the case) not easy to get along with. He lands in hot water and forced into exile after being accused of getting it on with his former captain's wife....

He takes his payout and heads for Palm Glade, Florida, and a quiet life.

Of course, if that were the case, there would be no story.

But if any one out there wants to know what happens in the sleepy resort town of Palm Glade, they will simply have to watch the show. Happy viewing!!!
