Editorial Reviews
A raw and authentic look into the Los Angeles crime scene; Season Two of SOUTHLAND goes even further inside the lives of cops; criminals; victims and their families. Hardened LAPD veteran John Cooper is partnered with rookie officer Ben Sherman - an on-the-job training that only reinforces the reality that being out on the field is nothing like his preparation at the Academy. Detective Lydia Adams must balance her hardened professional life with a more nurturing one at home. Detective "Sal" Salinger oversees the activities of fellow gang detectives; Nate Moretta and Sammy Bryant. While Chickie Brown works to become the first female member of SWAT. Together; they try to maintain order on the streets of Los Angeles - and within themselves. At the dramatic conclusion of season one; Lydia's partner is shot. As he struggles to survive; Lydia must reluctantly find a new partner. And new challenges; personal and professional; await the law-men and law-women of SOUTHLAND in Season Two.

I am a retired police officer with 25˝ years of service. So, in general, I like "TV cop shows", but some a lot more than others. I can flatly state that Southland is the best of the crop. My personal opinion). Yes, it is actually an adult soap opera, in the sense that the show goes beyond the day to day action scenes, and gets in to the personal life of the characters. In the real world, most cops don't just leave everything at work and go home at the end of their shift to be Mr. Rogers in his neighborhood. I get every episode on my DVR and save it until the DVD comes out. Ever watch the show "Cops"? That is a good show, but I can assure you that most of the time the real cops on that show are playing to the camera. Good, but not 100% realistic. Ever notice on other TV cop shows that as the good guys go through a building looking for the bad guy, or execute a search warrant? Most of the time the drawn guns are pointing up in the air and when they do point it at a bad guy, their finger is alongside the trigger guard, not inside of it resting on the trigger. In real life when you advance with your weapon drawn, both hands on it, and it is pointed at the ground, not up in the air. So if you trip and fall, the gun goes off pointed at the ground, not as you fall foreward with a round accidentally going off straight ahead out in front of you. And trust me, when you are confronting a bad guy to have your weapon out, you are absolutely not standing within arms reach from him, and you absolutely/positively have your finger on the trigger, not resting alongside the trigger guard. A gritty, real life cop show/soap opera. I love it.

Having served in law enforcement, I always find it funny how cop shows get one part right, or at least close, and then the rest gets distorted terribly.
I haven't been able to watch the second the season, but if it's anything close to the first, you're looking at a show that gets it so close all the way around (especially for the 'bags', or uniformed officers) that it's hard for me to watch and not say "Hey, I did that!"
It's very accurate. Well-written, well-researched.
