Head back to the streets of Los Angeles for the new, explosive season of Southland, the critically acclaimed drama series from Warner Bros. Television and Emmy-winning producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing). Chronicling the lives of LAPD officers and detectives like no other series on television, this powerful, intensely emotional drama stars Michael Cudlitz, Shawn Hatosy, Regina King and Ben McKenzie, along with special guest star Lucy Liu.

Since premiering in 2009, Southland has redefined the police drama with its raw, authentic look at the lives and work of Los Angeles detectives and beat cops. The show centers on four main characters: Officer John Cooper (Cudlitz), a seasoned cop who will have to prove himself again after recovering from surgery; Officer Ben Sherman (McKenzie), who still has much to learn after recently completing his training rotation; Detective Lydia Adams (King), whose unending caseload hits closer to home; and Sammy Bryant (Hatosy), a former detective who decided to go back to being a uniform cop after the traumatic death of his partner.

Shot on location in the streets and neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Southland captures a realistic, natural environment where similar situations can and often do occur in real life. The series was created by Emmy winner Ann Biderman (NYPD Blue, Public Enemies) and is executive-produced by Emmy winners Christopher Chulack (ER, Third Watch) and John Wells. Chulack is also a primary director of the series, while Jonathan Lisco (The District) serves as executive producer and Andrew Stearn (Shameless, The West Wing) is co-executive producer.

I recently watched S4 again, and everyone should watch this shoe forever because it's SO GOOD.

Who would have ever though Ryan Atwood would finish at Berkeley and leave the Cohens forever to become a hard-rear end LAPD officer

Very very excited that this show is back! I agree, it's probably hands down, the best show that no one is watching, which is a shame because as an LA native, it's also one of the most accurate portrayals of Los Angeles I've seen in a TV show.

Oh yeah, and for a show about the nitty gritty life of LAPD law enforcement, it's loving HYSTERICAL



"Rammy! ...RAMMY!"

The ending of "Code 4" still gets to me.

E: Also, Cooper breaking down outside of his car after dropping his pills.

E2: Or Coop getting his neck bitten off by the PCP fucker.

(Okay, almost every episode has a pretty mind-loving scene)

God, I can't wait for this Wednesday.

Forgive my loss of character names, but the cop killing by glass bottle/cop surrounding by a shitload of gang members and the rooftop chase/fight are two of the most white-knuckling, most intense moments of TV ever.
