Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNBC executives disliked the character of Officer Dewey Dudek and wanted him to be killed off when the show was airing on NBC.
- GoofsThroughout the series, real Los Angeles thoroughfares or sections are named (e.g. Rodeo, Florence, Vermont), while scenery is nowhere near the real life locations. Even fictitious addresses aren't within the range seen on the real street (e.g. 1024 Rodeo Rd. can't exist on a street that only goes as far east as the 2000 West block).
- Crazy creditsOne of the first images in the opening credit sequence is a police officer pointing his service weapon in the direction of the camera. That is actually Los Angeles Police Chief, James "Two-Gun" Davis, who served from 1926 to 1931.

Featured review
One of the best cop dramas ever!
Southland is one of the best and most underrated police series to ever be put on television! Everyone knows that there are thousands of cop shows out there to choose from but this is among the best and most original I've ever seen. It's a surprisingly fresh take on the cop show genre. Every episode is compelling and will hold your interest. Just read through the reviews to see what people really think of it. The cast is excellent and make it a very believable show. It's just such a gritty and realistic show about cops. It's a shame that it ended when it did because it should of went on for a few more seasons. With all the crap shows they revive these days I'd love to see them bring this show back.
