I'm a retired cop of 30 years of service. Southland is the most realistic cop show I've ever seen. Some NBC executives opined that the show was too dark for prime time. Maybe so, it's not for kids or folks that cringe at what's really going on in the streets. Although the show was cancelled in 2013 can you imagine the format with todays life out there ? I'd like to see other great networks pick up the show and carry on with a revised series. I'd like to see the original actors because they were an awesome ensemble of professionals. Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKensie, Shawn Hatosy and the awesome Regina King, C. Thomas Howell, etc. These are top notch actors and the story writers were excellent. Whoever the technical advisors were, they trained the actors very well and it showed in their actions. I noticed some probably retired LAPD guys in cameo roles. Again, it's a rough life out on the streets and if people want to really see the truth, this is the show. So come on IMDB, LETS GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT !
This movie starts slow but it's for a reason...to develop characters and laying the groundwork as to why Chris Pine's role chose to become a Contractor. Chris Pine has yet again carried off a great acting presentation and doesn't miss a beat. The storyline and acting are spot on. The actors carried out real movements of a trained spec ops member. Ben Foster also did an exemplary portrayal of an operative. He was awesome in Lone Survivor several years ago as Matt Axelrod, a SEAL killed in Operation Red Wings. Yes, there are similarities with the Bourne stories as far covert ops and questions of " who are we working for ? ". The on location filming and directing was also awesome.
I'd recommend this film to anybody that has served and law enforcement special operatives ( SWAT) on the technical side.

Good writing is the first thing I noticed on the new show. Harry is still doing his detailed investigations but without the hassle of office politics. The whole cast are on their A Game in their characters and pull off a great show. I'm only a few episodes into Bosch: Legacy but it's very much worth watching.
