Southland	comment	Police Procedural. Rookie cop and experienced veteran opposite multiethnic detective team. Jitter Cam and Battlestar Galactica-style drama abound.It's pretty much LAPD Galactica.Whereas other cop shows on TV tend to be almost like a stylish video game, Southland prides itself on being dark and gritty. Several police officers have claimed that it's the most realistic cop show on TV.Created by Ann Biderman (Ray Donovan), the series aired for one season (2009) on NBC and four more (2010–03) on TNT.

And finally, he loses Nate, the one good and constant thing in his life! He copes by bonding with Nate's widow and children, until they become like a surrogate family to him. Then she leaves to avoid awkwardness a few episodes later. Guy just can't catch a break. It doesn't get any better going forward.

But he's utterly demoralized by his fellow officers, who treat him like a suicidal baby. Even his mentor chides him about "letting go of his gun". His ex-wife tells him that she doesn't want to have a kid with him and he ends up being shot by his fellow officers (see Cliffhanger above).

Southland / int_820133fd	comment	Tragic Hero: Cooper, whose painkiller addiction originates from an on-work and its lack of treatment. What was the on-work injury? Helping firemen lift up a car to save someone's life. Why wasn't it treated properly? Because Cooper thought that he'd lose the capacity to do his job and to help people. He was afraid he would end up at a permanent desk-job humping the pine. And happens after he gets his treatment? His former partner hates him, there are rumors of his drug abuse, his second partner (Tang) ends up getting promoted after she covers up her shooting of an unarmed teenager (he had a toy gun with an orange cap). And then his third partner, Hank, is shot in the head by meth-heads and dies beside him. Then he's forced to dig a grave for Hank and himself. Them what happens when he's saved? He's put on desk-duty, gets emasculated by his other officers and treated like someone on suicide watch. And then he he gets shot three times by another cop after getting in a (violent) neighborly dispute.

However, "Chaos", the second to last episode of the series, is pitch black, showing the sheer insanity of the two methheads. Their home, the way they kill Hank Lucero, the way they force Cooper to dig his own grave is just disturbing. And how it all just mentally breaks Cooper, who had been an emotional rock since Season Four, is even worse. To a lesser degree, Sherman's final step into a dark territory and his deteriorating friendship/partnership with Sammy also adds to the tone shift. Ben barely bats an eyelash at Cooper going missing, sounding shocked, but not distressed.

He's also clouded by chivalry, letting a woman burn her boyfriend's face because he didn't want to hurt her. He starts going downhill when his mother's rapist (who didn't actually rape his mom) is set free. Ben is finally disillusioned when Cooper starts falling apart because of his addiction and injury. This culminates in Sherman nearly dying because Cooper couldn't keep up with him. By season four, Sherman is a firmly in Anti-Hero territory.
