Oh,no! Southland was my second favorite program (after Mad Men). Southland was gritty and realistic. I loved the way they actually said the “bad words” and then kind of bleeped them out. It made it all seem more honest. There is some consolation in the fact that Scott Evans is an even cuter gay cop on One Life To Live. I would like to see OLTL give him some more screen time.
