    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.

    I very much understand the decision of the network not to broadcast this second season and to dro    p the show altogether, because under this current form Southland was unsalvageable.… Expand

    Southland is a show of high caliber and riveting brilliance, instantly one of the finest hours of TiVo-worthy drama anywhere on the tube.

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