The characterizations are carefully nuanced in Southland, and the performances are equal to the quality of writing.
Regina King heads the solid ensemble. these folks are dutiful, proud and bonetired. [10 Jan 2011, p.40]

SEASON 3
Southland is such a good show. The show is always interesting and continues to keep me tuning in for more. The characters are very interesting and they have had some wild surprises. I don't know how anyone could call Southland a horrible show when its the exact opposite. I couldn't believe it when NBC cancelled but I am hoping that TNT continues to bring us more Southland.

SEASON 3
Every crime--murder, bank robbery, changing lanes without signaling--is a mini-masterpiece of L.A. noir. But the real draw is the cast.
The exceptional writing and pitch-perfect acting of Southland is not to be missed.
There is nothing heightened or cheapened by contrivance as the detectives and patrol cops go about their often sordid business.
Southland, which seems to be at pains to give each of its characters and their stories equal weight, may just be a little too evenhanded for its own good.
The show is trying to depict a good cross-section of the city's cop culture. But the scenes with the uniform cops - Ben McKenzie as a young quick study, Michael Cudlitz as his gruff but clever training officer - are just much more vibrant and memorable than anything with the detectives.
I am very impressed with a new "good" cop show. The characters are what make the show. I usually don't care to know the personal lives of the cops and just want the crime, problem solving and resolution. But, these people are so interestingly flawed you want to see how it plays into their work lives.

SEASON 3
This show is the most raw depiction of cop life on the air. NBC was a fool to pass up on this excellent show. This season has been very tense. I especially loved the fourth episode of this season. Don't wanna give out any spoilers, but if you're a true fan of the show, you'll know why episode 4 was so good. This is the best cop drama on television, and it's a shame not many people are watching it. The producer of ER has picked a stellar cast, and the storytelling is sharp. Sherman and Cooper are the best cop duo ever assembled. The acting is superb, not just by these too but all of the cast. Regina King does an amazing job as well. This show seems so realistic that sometimes I feel like I'm watching COPS. Anyway, this season in my opinion, is the best thus far. Despite the budget cuts, the creators are taking this show in the right direction and this show needs to be recognized.

SEASON 3
Probably the best and most respectable yet underrated cop dramas on television. As gritty as it is gripping you can bring yourself to care about and/or dislike the characters involved, major and minor; the show is not the second coming of Jesus but it deserves a lot of things, including your attention.
