TNT's SouthLAnd?

[Punisher84]

Just curious if there were any other SouthLAnd fans here? It started out on NBC, got canceled after 1 season because it was deemed "too dark" for NBC, then TNT picked it up. It's now in it's 3rd Season and it's probably the best show I've ever watched. Character's are realistic and it really gets at the gritty side of what being a cop in a metro area is about. It honestly is more like "COPS" than The Shield or anything similar.

If you don't watch it see if you can find the first 2 seasons on-line. I highly recommend it.

Yes, I love that show!

+1 I've seen all three season.

[Links2k]

I just started watching this season. It is a very good show.

[Punisher84]

Awesome im not alone! Last nights episode really struck a nerve with me considering the events of the past several days across the country.

I've been in a situation similar to that and I can honestly say it is a bad ****ing feeling.

caught the first episode last night. Story lines were believable enough, good characters/actors. I was surprised by the PO who was killed at the end by the gang bangers. Couldn't tell if he was shot or kicked into eternity......seems like a watcher.

One of the best shows I've ever seen I've never missed a episode.. Last night episode did strike a nerve I really liked Nate really didn't wanted to see him killed off. Hope they really keep this show going. And he we struck in the back of the head with a crow bar

[Guest Red5]

Never watched it but since everyone here seems to love it, it's on my Netflix list now. I need something to watch until the next season of Walking Dead starts.

I really like Southland. Been a fan since the beginning. I was really glad TNT picked it up.

[Pain103]

I like it and have watched probably every episode since the beginning. The training officer cracks me up, he must have been coached by a real Field Training Officer.

According to Michael Cudlitz (Cooper) they have an LAPD officer on hand at all times to give them pointers to make it as realistic as possible.

I love the series. I was pretty skeptical at first, but I really loved the cast so I stuck with it. I am happy to say I have not been disappointed.

I watched the first season and knew it had moved to TNT. Somehow I apparently mised the 2nd season. Going to have to get it on DVD to get caught up

[Fallguy]

Have never missed an episode. Was so glad the TNT picked up after NBC dropped the ball (again).

My understanding is that Nate was killed off because the actor made a commitment to True Blood while the future of SouthLAnd was still up in the air....

Great show. Wife and I never miss it. NBC, etc woul;d rather us watch a "reality" show Most are about as unreality as you can get!

I wonder if NBC is kicking themselves for letting it go?

[Guest Tony66]

Great show, realistic, and way to racy for NBC. I want to here the real language and see the real seen. We love it.

[Daniel]

I watched it while it was on NBC and then downloaded the episodes of season 2. I havent seen any from the new season but then again I have been out of the loop the last month. I will try and download the new episodes.

Anyone watch Southland Last night ?  Did you catch the reference to "The Onion Field" Book written by Joseph Wambaugh.  To all the L/E officers be aware , never drop your guard. Keep safe.
