No show advertises its desire to be taken seriously - its bid for instant-classic status - as insistently as this visually austere account of the daily lives of Los Angeles patrol officers and detectives.

Each episode leaves us wondering, and wanting more.
November 19, 2013
Here's to a long and fruitful run in the new home. Tuesday night proves exactly why Southland deserves one.
November 19, 2013
This cop drama has so many strong performances and enough nuanced writing that it remains one of the better dramas currently in prime time.
November 19, 2013
Dense, fast-moving drama weaving together multiple story lines.
November 19, 2013
Of all the boneheaded decisions committed by the peacock network over the last year, taking the ax to the John Wells cop drama Southland might surpass them all.
November 19, 2013
Much like last season, this one already has Adams and Ben standing in for viewers. Their insights, or their reactions, mold yours.
November 19, 2013
Southland does especially well at putting you inside the action -- chases, mob scenes, shootouts are unusually kinetic and suspenseful and felt for a television show.
November 19, 2013
A fairly mediocre, overcrowded cop show.
November 19, 2013
It's exceptionally well made, with sharply drawn characters and, happily, more intense focus on the best of them in these initial patrols.
