I'm a retired cop of 30 years of service. Southland is the most realistic cop show I've ever seen. Some NBC executives opined that the show was too dark for prime time. Maybe so, it's not for kids or folks that cringe at what's really going on in the streets. Although the show was cancelled in 2013 can you imagine the format with todays life out there ? I'd like to see other great networks pick up the show and carry on with a revised series. I'd like to see the original actors because they were an awesome ensemble of professionals. Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKensie, Shawn Hatosy and the awesome Regina King, C. Thomas Howell, etc. These are top notch actors and the story writers were excellent. Whoever the technical advisors were, they trained the actors very well and it showed in their actions. I noticed some probably retired LAPD guys in cameo roles. Again, it's a rough life out on the streets and if people want to really see the truth, this is the show. So come on IMDB, LETS GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT !
