Season 5, Episode 9 "Chaos" (Spoilers)

I've just finished re watching Southland since it was cancelled 2 years ago. And the episode "Chaos" is gonna be stuck with me for days. To me, Chaos was one of the most intense episodes of any TV show I've ever seen. Officer Lucero was one of my favorite characters throughout season 5, and when he was shot and killed, It left me shell shocked, and has been on my mind all day... the Actors put so much emotion into this episode, that I felt every single one. As far as TV shows go, this is one episode that's going to take a while for me to get over. I felt uncomfortable from the get go when Coop and Lucero were in the back of the truck. I know I watched it 2 years ago, but this time round, it just felt more traumatic and hit me harder... probably because I've been watching 5+ episodes a day and I can't get enough... Why did this show have to get cancelled?? Southland was TV at it's best, and now I've finished re watching it, I'm already starting to feel lost!!

I'm in perfect agreement. Why do the best dramas get cancelled while moronic sitcoms get renewed? Need to get this on dvd.

I have to admit I'm a fan of most moronic sitcoms, but I'd happily let them ALL get cancelled if that meant bringing Southland back!! Yeah, you definitely should buy the DVDs!! I had to import season 5 to the UK!! Literally the best DVDs I own!! If it was up to me I'd get them released on Blu-ray!!

Re-watching it once a year or so. Still one of the best Cop-Shows of all times.

I think I'm gonna have to re watch them more often!! :)
To me Southland is the best cop show ever made!! :)

Talking about one of the best cop shows ever made and re-watching them . Funny coincidence, i was just watching some old Law & Order episodes and who's puffy face pops up on the screen? Young Shawn Hatosy! Took me a second to recognize him though ^^

Episode was #16 from the sixth season "Savior". And btw, Ellen Pompeo is in it as well.

I'll have to check that episode out... hopefully it's on YouTube?? :)

[–] Erendinger 9 years ago

that would surprise me a lot ;-)

thing with these very old series, they're very hard to catch off the payed content of the usual big providers.
maybe try thewatchseries.to ?

Yeah, it's not on YouTube!! But I did come across a clip with Shawn in another episode, but this one was Law & Order SVU!!

Chaos was on another level in terms of intensity that sh*t was insane left me feeling cold and numb like when I watched "Ozymandias" the third to last Breaking Bad episode the first time.

Such an intense and sad episode. I felt so bad for them.

I also believe the partner may have been gay, thus his homophobia. Wish he had been on better terms with his family when he died.

Finished watching ep 9. Tremendous episode. Kept hoping none of them would get killed. Shocking and memorable episode. 5 yrs after the last episode the show has aged quite a bit. Lots of changed.
