TV show description:
This cop drama follows the LAPD’s multi-agency Gang Task Force as they take on the city’s most dangerous gangs.
Detective Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez) is a rising star in the force but he has a secret. He lost his father at an early age and was taken in and raised by the Acosta family. Before he became a cop, Ryan pledged his allegiance to a different band of brothers –- the powerful Latino gang called Los Angelicos.
When Ryan’s best friend and police partner is senselessly killed by a notorious gang member, Ryan teams up with Task Force member and DEA Agent Cassius Green (RZA). He’s been at the forefront of the city’s war on organized crime for a long time.
Despite his devotion to his job, Ryan is still beholden to the crime family’s leader, Javier Acosta (Cliff Curtis). He’s the father figure that Ryan has tried to make proud his entire life — and the man who masterminded his entry into the police force.
Ryan’s secret has been held for a decade by Ryan, Javier, and Javier’s sons; cold-blooded gang lieutenant Carlos (Rey Gallegos) and straight-laced investment banker Daniel (Jay Hernandez), Ryan’s childhood best friend.
But Ryan is starting to realize that he is even more dedicated to being a cop than he is to Los Angelicos. He is respected by his team, including FBI Agent Tae Kim (Sung Kang), ICE Agent Vanessa “Vee” Hicks (Inbar Lavi) and the task force leader, Sam Chapel (Terry O’Quinn).
Chapel is Ryan’s other surrogate father figure. His estranged daughter, Jessica (Shantel VanSanten), is the city’s Assistant District Attorney.
Episode #13 — Malandros
Daniel uses his wedding to finalize a deal between Javier and Lavar Quintel. Chapel leads his team into Mexico to find murder suspect Matias. Chapen and Ryan learn that Javier ordered the hit on Jessica. Ryan has Javier transferred to the metas side of jail where he finds a “welcome party.”
First aired: August 14, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Gang Related TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
PLEASE don’t cancel this show, Fox!!! We LOVE it & can’t wait for each new episode. It’s a tough road that Ryan travels. We haven’t yet watched the season finale, but the one before that was edge-of-the-seat. Great writing & a really good cast. Fingers crossed for a second (& third?) season……
Definitely my wife n I favorite show. ..hope it comes back for Season 2
Best TV show buy far I look forward to watching the next episode. Don’t cancel this show
It’s an interesting show with good writing that you never know what will happen next unlike reality shows, which are pathetic. Please don’t cancel keep it going.

Don’t want to wait till next summer for it to start up again! Awesome great actors! Wished they wouldn’t of killed off the assistant to the prosecuting attorney! She was a great actress!

keep the show going it is one of the best shows on fox
Gripping story line and excellent actors. I would be very disappointed and shocked if this series didn’t continue for many years to come!!!
Please renew this series, best new program I have seen in ages!
This show has to continue!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the best, on the edge of your seat, cannot wait for the next episode, cannot believe what just happened shows ever. I know the cast and crew need to take a break, but do we have to wait such a long time for what happens next?
I enjoyed the show eager t see the next episode.
Great
One of the best TV shows in a long time. Keeps you on the edge every week. You do not want it to end. I have to wait 10 months for season 2 – bummer. If this aired in the fall, it could have easily been the top rated show. Summer shows are tough because people do not watch much TV.
This is the next best show after Prison Break. Gotta keep this Fox. This is a really good series that keeps you in edge.
