User Reviews

This Southland Episode Was the Worst of 3 Seen So Far *

This was without doubt the worst of the 3 shows that I've seen so far in the "Southland" series.

What goes wrong here is that the writing was just trying to to show too much in the 45 minutes that the show was on.

Our 2 friendly policemen both confess to each other that their lives as younger men were anything but good. This should have been explored much more in greater detail.

Regina King, who has so much to offer in this show, barely appeared in this episode.

What was going on at that party when a cop is cuffed to the bed? There are plenty of explanations to go around here.
