    Here's to a long and fruitful run in the new home. Tuesday night proves exactly why Southland deserves one.

    The tremendously exciting second-season premiere - the first of six new episodes - plunges us into numerous L.A.-cop story lines, the best of which finds Regina King's Lydia dealing with a cocky new partner

    Much like last season, this one already has Adams and Ben standing in for viewers. Their insights, or their reactions, mold yours.

I couldn't believe it when NBC cancelled but I am hoping that TNT continues to bring us more Southland.… Expand

I look forward to see watch the next season has to offer from it's new network and budget cuts.… Expand

    Not everything in that show is bad. The casting is ok and actors visibly try their best. Pretty much everything else is a disaster, the writing is specially poor, with bad dialogues, poor character development and plots that make no sense. Bad also the very weird editing and the musical theme. I very much understand the decision of the network not to broadcast this second season and to drop the show altogether, because under this current form Southland was unsalvageable.… Expand
