Southland: The 43-Episode LA Cop Drama That Outshines Bosch

screenrant.com —

TNT's Southland, a 43-episode cop drama that aired from 2009 to 2013, is being hailed as a superior LA police show compared to the more famous Bosch franchise. Created by Ann Biderman, Southland moved from NBC to TNT and used an ensemble cast, including Regina King and Michael Cudlitz, to offer gritty, morally complex portraits of LAPD officers, earning comparisons to The Wire and The Shield. Despite its critical acclaim and influence on later shows like The Pitt, Southland never spawned sequels or spinoffs, but its immersive, Dickensian scope is now seen as more ambitious than Bosch's focused character study.
