I am sensing a very horrible pattern in my TV/film watching selection habits. I tend to write off shows based on the network that they are on. Never again. The reason for this: Southland. Formerly on NBC, but then dropped for it being too dark in the "Leno at 10" era then TNT picked it up. Southland is on its 3rd season and the show deserves more attention. I like to think of this show as Band of Brothers meets Cops meets freaking amazing. The show follows the lives and careers of cops in different departments of the LAPD from patrolmen to detectives. We see their lives intersecting in the brutal war against gangs, homicides, and whatever crimes you can think of. This isnt your typical Law and Order bullcrap, nor your run of the mill NCIS or CSI. This is the unglorified, and uncensored view of real life as a cop.
