    Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
    ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
    mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
    Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
    mcscardina Ok so I know I'm a few years late to the party...but from the beauty that is HULU i was able to watch Southland on my summer vacation. And all I can say wow...how little respect Hollywood has for the audience. What a great show, amazing actors, seat gripping storylines and it just stops...no rhyme or reason. I'll add it to the list of shows that left way too early and that I still miss; American Dreams (2002) and Jericho (2006)
    skimmel666-734-2495 I actually loved this show, and was SPOILER ALERT!!! 8 YEAR OLD SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!extremely disappointed at it's demise. I recognized Cudlitz from a BTVS ep called "The Zeppo" and was thrilled to see him on TWD but that didn't assuage my sadness over the show being cancelled/self cancelled, whatever.I miss those people.
    C.H Newell I watch a high volume of movies and television, but I have to say this- Southland is one of the greatest police dramas out there. This show combines great character development/writing in general with some absolutely out-of-the-park acting by some underrated actors and actresses. I'm a fan of police shows; everything from Law & Order: SVU to The Shield. Southland explores what it's like for detectives and patrolling officers both on and off the job, and how there isn't really a whole lot of the 'off the job' part when it all comes down to it. Especially in a day and age where police officers are quite often bad mouthed by a lot of the general public, I think Southland gives a show that not only civilians can enjoy as a drama, but I'd venture to bet many police officers out there might be able to watch this and (hopefully) relate to some of the themes going on.Two mentions I need to include for acting: i) Michael Cudlitz as Officer John Cooper. Probably one of my favourite characters of all-time on TV because with Cooper, you gradually see more and more of his personal life as the seasons go by, and from the very first episode (albeit very sly) we know he is gay. However, it isn't totally blatant for the first season or two, only in brief mentions. Cooper shows how an officer (or anybody for that matter) doesn't need to be defined by sexual orientation. He gives a voice to the manly gay men everywhere who can't relate to foolishness like Glee. ii) C. Thomas Howell as Officer Dewey Dudek. He is a great actor, but here he shines! This character was written for Howell- Dewey is a foul, loud mouthed alcoholic who eventually finds the right path through sobriety (although he's still foul and everything). Howell just walks and talks Dudek; he is him. There are many great actors on this show, but he holds as one of the best. They could have even used him more, however, his character arc was very satisfying.There is a lot of solid writing on this show regardless of what other people think; it's undeniable. Every show has its faults, but I find for the better part of this show's run it has been extremely well written. The characters shine. Shawn Hatosy is also one of the best on this show! Really great underrated actor. 10 out of 10 stars. Highly recommended.
    slevi777 ATTENTION ALL SOUTHLAND LOVERS: Rumor has it that it might NOT be a 6th season. We all need to band together and go to TNT.com and email them messages asking them NOT to cancel the show. Please take a few minutes to do this, we can't lose SouthLAnd..!!! This show is simply amazing. There is no other show like SouthLAnd on television. This is the only show on TV that I must watch " NO ACCEPTIONS". So please go to TNT.com and submit your request to continue the show. Let them know that you truly love the show and do not want to see it go. TNT has not confirmed nor denied if the rumors are true. Hopefully this will prompt them to let us SouthLAnd fans know what is going on!!
