“It’s [The Glades] not ‘Burn Notice’ or ’ Miami Vice’ — it’s a show about the other Florida, the one we haven’t seen,” said Tana Nugent Jamieson, senior VP, drama programming, at A&E. “And it has an eerie quality to it that stems from those out-of-the-way places.”

“The Glades,” which will return for a second season next year, is one of a number of TV series that have purposely strayed from glamorous settings like Manhattan and Los Angeles.
