Southland

'Southland takes a raw look at Los Angeles as it is in the 2000s and as well at the lives of the officers of the Los Angeles Police Department who are trying to contain it.'

Now this was a pretty impressive series. 
I liked it even more than Shield and Sopranos - both of which I'd rank very high as well.

Highly recommended.

This was cancelled.

Also, has a bot taken over your account? What with the avalanche of posts? :)

It was cancelled but there was no cliffhanger per se.  I'd say that if it ran for much longer, it would have started to go downhill. 
As such, cancellation probably saved it from overstaying its welcome and it did end at a high note. 

I'd say that Sopranos, even though it was not cancelled, ended on a much larger cliffhanger than this series. 
The point being, this is an amazing TV series that can be enjoyed from beginning till the end.

I am still astounded just how many people have seen sopranoes and shield, yet they know nothing about this series - even though it superior to either one of those.

Why are you posting about all these shows that were cancelled years ago? Yeah this is a good show, but not better than Shield or Sopranos. End of thread.

What's your next post going to be about, The Waltons?

I see tons of crappy shows posted - so I figured I'd post a few good ones

This is probably the best police show out there to date.

The episodes were really well done and didnt always seem to glorify policing. The over arching storyline itself really kept a good tempo each season leading up tot the end.

The last season was crazy. The ending really made me wish the show could have gone on. In the end i really think this show didnt receive the fanfare it deserved (I didnt even watch it til well after it was cancelled).
