  • Great cop show - but...

    7.0
    "Good"
    By mrivera, 9 hours ago
    I'm a late comer to this show and I thought "At last a crime show that's realistic". On all the other ones, the weekly murderers are 99% white male, even in cities like Philadelphia, NY, and LA, and usually filthy rich or conservative or religious or all 3. There's plenty of PC on the cop side in Southland but at least the criminal side is just as diverse. The main hitch is they took the most macho toughest looking cop and made him gay. I guess the gay mafia in Hollywood had to be appeased.moreless

    Take out the gay stuff and last season would have been top notch and would have gotten a 9.

    By dennya, Feb 09, 2012
    I generally like the show, Southland. However last night Feb. 8, 2012 hit a new low for writing. The plots were stupid and very uninteresting. How many times do we have to see a woman puke to "get it" that she's pregnant. And why do we care? Lucy Liu is a huge negative also. Get back to the basics. There's plenty of material.

  • This is a unique show because it focuses in on the day to day dangers of being a cop and the even bigger danger of being a bad cop (or a good cop who might have lost their way). Dramatic & Shocking.moreless

    On the mean streets of LA the cops are a tight knit group but they have their fair share of problems too. Between the beat cops and the detectives there is plenty of day to day drama to entertain.

    Each week is a new drama with this crew and it is never boring. From addiction to murder, this cop show is one for the ages. The best thing about Southland is that you get to know the cops and their problems on a personal level. As a viewer you are rooting for them as if they were your friends/family. If you don't watch this show, you should. Excellent writing and fantastic acting all around. Way to go TNT, keep making it like this and they'll have a long running hit on their hands!moreless

  • Great show. We are veteran LE officials and tape the show weekly. See our below review

    My wife & I are veteran law enforcement officials for a major nationally accredited Law Enforcement agency, I've spent time in all the areas (and more)that the show depicts and can say it's an accurate story. We love the segmented format jumping from plain clothes to Patrol to GIU (Gang Intel Unit.) If you don't like the show, you won't like real world of law enforcement. Officers make lots of mistakes, don't believe otherwise, some serious, some not so. Officer Cooper being left at the hospital entrance facing his addiction, that was powerful; this is a good show, Cooper's issue is identical to a case I worked years ago. That guy underwent detox and because he wanted to get better returned to full service, he's back on the street and doing well. I supervised IA for many years.moreless
