"Gang Related": Gritty new fast-paced drama GANG RELATED, follows RYAN LOPEZ (Ramon Rodriguez, “Battle Los Angeles,” “The Wire”), a rising star in Los Angeles’ elite Gang Task Force – led by SAM CHAPEL (Emmy Award winner Terry O’Quinn, “Lost”) – who teams up with longtime Task Force member CASSIUS GREEN (RZA, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “Californication”) to take on the city’s most dangerous gangs, including one he has an allegiance to. The series is from creator/writer Chris Morgan (“Wanted,” “Fast Five”), Academy Award-winning executive producer Brian Grazer (“24,” “A Beautiful Mind”), director Allen Hughes (“Dead Presidents,” “Book of Eli,” “Menace II Society”) and executive producer/showrunner Scott Rosenbaum (“The Shield”).
I can really get into a good procedural. I enjoy the predictability of crime-process-solution but perhaps that is because I enjoy the often witty writing of the dialogues for these shows. Yes, it is a thing to think up the new odd combo of characters to play off each other, and frequently with odd personality quirks or even powers, but that too is a lot of fun. Enjoy!!! Personally, I would love to see a few of these come back.
