Trivia
NBC executives disliked the character of Officer Dewey Dudek and wanted him to be killed off when the show was airing on NBC.

Goofs
Throughout the series, real Los Angeles thoroughfares or sections are named (e.g. Rodeo, Florence, Vermont), while scenery is nowhere near the real life locations. Even fictitious addresses aren't within the range seen on the real street (e.g. 1024 Rodeo Rd. can't exist on a street that only goes as far east as the 2000 West block).

Connections
Featured in 2011 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards (2011)

9/10

Wish It Would Have Had A Few More Years

Obviously a tv show will have some dramatic elements, but overall this was one of the most accurate cop shows made at that time. I have retired and I suspect the job isn't as enjoyable as it was in the 80's through early 2000's, but the creators got this show right. The themes, the attitudes, personalities and overall feeling of the job are very well done. Southland and Bosch do a great job of getting the details right when it comes to police stories.
