Thanks for the new thread

I still have only seen the first episode of S5, but I heard the 3rd episode is really good and that Ben gets shot in the ear or something.

Wow

Season 5 Episode 8 discussion

Sherman's behavior at the last 15 minutes were horible. He shold have know that Nate is in the Sammy's house. Now Tammy will use Ben's actions against Sammy, because she will use everything to take away Nate from Sammy. In the next episode Tammy will probably say "Sammy is a cop and he can't take care of our baby. Sammy left Nate in the house with one babysitter and someone break into his house end beat up the babysitter. Nate is lucky that he didn't got hurt."
Actually maybe this wasn't Ben's fault, because Sammy confront/pissed off some gangster, and the gangster as revenge break in Sammy's house and beat the babysitter.
I dont know if Sherman's man or Anti-Sammy's gangster (who wanted to get revenge on Sammy) break the Sammy's house and beat up Nate's babysitter.

Season 5 Episode 9 and 10 discussion

It was very dramatic last 2 episode. They have to do new season. They can't leave Ben, Sammy and Cooper like that.

So guys now when I´m off for a week of work I´ll try and watch Southland

I only saw half of this season. I hate S5. I hate to say this but... I don't really care if this show gets renewed. I'm over Southland. I hope The Advocates is successful.

Theresa, you should watch the rest of the season. You will be surprised/shocked by few things. Please watch and give a comment.

I didn't see all of the first 5 episodes (I saw episodes 1, 3, and 5) so I actually did see a couple of the later episodes (8 and 10) and didn't like them. I didn't see 9, but heard it was really intense, but it was all about Cooper, who I don't care about so I'll watch it eventually just for Ben but I'm not that interested. I feel that they completely ruined Ben's character and even some of the other characters. The only character they wrote well is Cooper, and he was my least favorite. Ben McKenzie is a great actor, but he deserves better IMHO.
