-
There isn't a better cop show on TV right now than Southland.
-
It's not always pretty or easy to watch, but Southland remains an outstanding hour of appointment TV.
-
Southland remains one of the most morally complex and insightful dramas on television today.
-
The cast--including Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKenzie, Shawn Hatosy and Regina King--is perfection. No ensemble of actors on television is more stunning or exciting to watch.
-
Rest easy: The premiere is good; next week’s episode is flat-out superb.
-
For the most part, though, what we see and hear is all we’re allowed to know, and it’s enough, just as the accumulation of moments in a fly-on-the-wall documentary are enough to make us feel for the subjects.
-
Southland" remains a stand-out series for its gritty, on-the-street scenes of police work and the engrossing stories of its characters.
-
The randomness of the action and the sense of futility (most notable in Lydia's dealings with a male rape victim) distinguish Southland from run-of-the-mill cop dramas.
-
As the fifth season begins, Southland appears to be stronger for its ordeals. The ensemble is streamlined to the most compelling characters and the direction is crisp.
