I think TNT made a mistake by pairing this show with Leverage. Yes, it is about pretending to be someone else and get inside an operation with a team of skilled people, but the tone of the shows are vastly different. TNT could have done much better pairing Dark Blue with Saving Grace or another police show with a similar tone. Dark Blue isn't getting great ratings and I'm expecting a cancellation, but I think the main reason for the viewer dropoff is that Leverage is much more light-hearted while Dark Blue is bordering on depressing at times.
This episode was split very differently with Carter and Ty working together and Jaimie and Dean working together. The 2 separate groups rarely interacted and only come together in the end to do the bust. The target this week is a group that deals with diamonds.
Dean and Jaimie attempt to get a buyer of diamonds by befriending and businessman who has a family. Somehow, this guy only feels secure if the person he is working with has something to risk. To get in his graces, they pose as husband and wife and have dinner with his family. Dean sees how happy his family is and is reluctant to bust him, but he is the only way in and Carter could care less.
Carter and Ty team up with some professionals that own a bar to steal diamonds. One of the robbers wants Ty to kill a worker at the bank, and Ty is clearly disturbed. Of course he actually doesn't do anything and fakes the shooting. Once they obtain the diamonds, Dean sets up the deal and gets everyone ready to be arrested.
I'm sorry if this is a little short, but I'm kind of short on time. The focus of this episode was more on things not related to the diamonds. Ty's wife wants a kid and Ty is very wary of this considering how dangerous his job is. He also meets the sister of the safecracker and she will pretty much do anything with him. In the end, Ty gets an angry text message from her which I thought was totally hilarious since he had put her brother in prison for years. Carter also meets someone working at the bar and they seem to get along in a bizarre way. I don't know how else to describe the scene with the woman other than bizarre. The last scene especially when Carter is supposed to meet her. He stands outside looking at her, calls her, and then leaves. To add to the weirdness, Dean and Jaimie are still having sex while she is still with Scott. Carter appears to walk in on them with the sounds and all, but it turns out Dean was just fixing the table. I thought is was just tacky and awkward.
Score: 8.5/10
