Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Perfect cast and a good story

Absolutely Fantastic

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Ok so I know I'm a few years late to the party...but from the beauty that is HULU i was able to watch Southland on my summer vacation. And all I can say wow...how little respect Hollywood has for the audience. What a great show, amazing actors, seat gripping storylines and it just stops...no rhyme or reason. I'll add it to the list of shows that left way too early and that I still miss; American Dreams (2002) and Jericho (2006)

I'm here with general overall comments on this program.If you love watching police drama - SOUTHLAND is _the best_ (so far) in the genre. If I could, I'd give this series 20 out of 10! This series is 100% better than Breaking bad in my opinion.It's probably the best "cop show" _ever_ and I would encourage anyone with an interest in great compelling performances and great story to make time for this series. It really hits its stride in season 4 but all season and all episodes are totally engaging. I binged watch using DVDs and downloads so story arc continuity was easier to maintain (especially for "the hood" stuff in Seasons 1& 2), and I would encourage you to do likewise. The gallows humour and practical jokes in season 4 are not to be missed. There are numerous series out there competing for your attention - but do not miss this one. There's a line the character John Cooper uses in episode one indicating being an LA cop is a ticket to the "greatest show on earth with a ringside seat". He's absolutely correct.

I absolutely loved this drama . I was so disappointed it was canceled The characters were so real. It was gritty in your face drama you never knew what to expect. I watched from the beginning I will certainly miss it one the highlights of weekly viewing. So much garbage on today ! I guess the network's decision is final. The ensemble cast was excellent each actor so talented and convincing. I would have liked an ending that would have wrapped up all the story lines. Maybe they could do a TV movie later. It was the best police drama I have seen on TV. I guess it was too raw for prime time that is why NBC got rid of it. Thank goodness for cable alternatives or there would be so many shows that would not air. Just wish the network would reconsider and bring it back ! Actors have probably moved on to other projects.

I'm a devour of TV series. So far i have never met something as good as Southland when it comes to drama. This TV series is the perfect example of unappreciated outside of the box thinking. Great cast, great characters, great turn of events, non-linear action. I really don't know why people didn't watch it. I guess cheap stuff like Teenwolf or other soap opera like movies are more audience catchy than this perfect mirrored Real Life action. If you have time Southland is a MUST SEE ! PS I think TNT should have targeted the audience outside USA so SOUTHLAND should have lived longer. I would have pay2view it online anytime.
