The excellence of Southland can be said to be all-round, with a strong documentary style, and the photography is very fierce. I don't know how to shoot a wall-climbing shot of chasing the suspect in the third episode. The play is very good, the rhythm is tight, and the performance is quite good. The male lead played The OC for a few years before, and the acting has improved a lot in this play.
All in all, this is a play that I can hardly pick out in every way. If I had to pick it, I feel a little sorry that this play was broadcast on NBC, because it is a public television network, and there are a lot of swear words in it. It's a cable TV station, so there shouldn't be this problem.
I emphasized the breath of the show earlier, and after watching the first three episodes, it's still strong.
This is completely different from the realism brought by making a documentary. In fact, the plot is a very dramatic conflict, but on the contrary, it is expressed in a very documentary style. The play of this play is definitely not ordinary.
You can obviously feel that if you don't know a certain degree of ordinary police life, you can't write such a script. From this perspective, it also shows that Southland has a very high overall production level.
I hope the show stays on top, has a great season, and more importantly, can't humiliate ER's reputation on NBC's primetime Thursday nights for more than a decade.
Southland, come on, come on.
