I definitely am. I think it looks great. But of course, nothing will beat my Law & Order SVU.
Here's a summary of whats to be expected:
From Emmy Award winners John Wells, Ann Biderman and Chris Chulack comes a raw and authentic look at a police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, "Southland" is a fast-moving drama that will take viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.
Michael Cudlitz ("A River Runs Through It") plays John Cooper a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie, "The O.C."). Cooper's honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer.
Cudlitz and McKenzie are joined by other cast members, including Regina King ("Ray," “Jerry Maguire”), who plays Detective Lydia Adams. Adams lives with and is the primary caregiver of her mother. Her partner, Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott, "Boiler Room") is an unhappily married father of three. Michael McGrady ("The Thin Red Line") plays Detective Daniel "Sal" Salinger. Sal oversees fellow gang detectives Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro, "Drive," "Ugly Betty") and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy, "Alpha Dog"). Arija Bareikis (“Crossing Jordan”) plays patrol officer Chickie Brown, a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into SWAT.

And yes, I realize the real thing is nothing like the TV shows. But you have to admit they are very enjoyable to watch.

Nope do not want to watch a show about cops! If there was an "UNEDITED" live reality show about the police going on for 24 hours I would watch just to see how far the corruption and violation of civil rights really go! That will never happen because the police do not want the public to see what really happens in reality with the police. Southland is fiction, and Cops is so much to never show the police doing anything wrong! |

I'm going to watch it. From the previews, it looks like one of the better ones out there. Although I do like CSI. Only problem is, I think they give away too many forensic secrets. |

I didn't read your summary, because I want to watch it with no pre-knowledge. However, I have heard good things about it, and am looking forward to a cop show that isn't formulaic. |
