Southland

SOUTHLAND, a raw and authentic look into a Los Angeles police unit, from John Wells. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East L.A., this fast-moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. John Cooper (Band of Brothers’ Michael Cudlitz) is a seasoned Los Angeles cop assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (The O.C.’s Ben McKenzie). And although Cooper’s harsh, tell-it-like-it-is approach often leaves Ben questioning whether he has what it takes to be a cop, he remains on the force.

CAST: Ben McKenzie, Michael Cudlitz, Regina King, Tom Everett Scott, Shawn Hatosy, Michael McGrady, Kevin Alejandro, Arija Bareikis
