TV Drama Watch

If you are like me, you became a fan of the NBC cop drama Southland this spring. It's gritty, the characters seem real and likable and the stories are interesting. I'm very happy that the show will be returning this fall. And to get fans of the show ready for the fall, here's a spoiler from TV Guide:

I became a fan of Southland during its short run on NBC last season. Do you have anything on what we can expect in Season 2? Will we get more insight into Officer Sherman's relationship (or lack thereof) with his father? — Jocelyn

TIM: Southland's writers baited very beautiful little traps to draw us back each week, and Ben's backstory is among the most alluring. We'll definitely find out more about the dynamic he shares with his big-shot defense lawyer dad, as well as whether Det. Clarke survived that out-of-nowhere shooting. I'd follow this show to hell — or even to Friday night, as the case may be. [Source: TV Guide]
