Return of Southland

TNT's Southland returns on Wednesday, February 13th, for its fifth season.  While I will not recommend too many police shows, this is one worth watching.  The adventures of Officers Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) and John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz), as well as their partners in LA crime-fighting, will keep you riveted each week.  

I have particularly enjoyed the story arc of the pregnant Lydia Adams (Regina King) who surprises you each week with her grit and heart for police work.  And this season the cast is joined by Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill), who plays Officer Dave Mendoza.  I think the current cast is fantastic, so Murray will have quite a chore just keeping up.
