Random 'Southland'
The GF and I caught the 2nd episode last night...
Southland is an American drama series created by Emmy Award winning writer Ann Biderman. It began airing on NBC on April 9, 2009. According to NBC, Southland takes a "raw and authentic look" at Los Angeles and the lives of the LAPD officers who police it. The show's seven episode first season centers around the experiences and interactions of LAPD patrol officers and detectives, and is less a police procedural than a character-driven drama. Among the characters are rookie Officer Ben Sherman, and his training officer, John Cooper, Detective Lydia Adams, who must balance work with responsibility for her mother, Officer Chickie Brown, who aspires to be the first woman on the elite SWAT Team, and Detective Sammy Bryant, whose home life interferes with his working life.
