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?
It amazes me why Fox would cancel this well written
Show haven’t watch fox for a while until Gang Related was on!
This show was great!!! I’m so sad the executives didn’t give it a second season. I think it just needed more time to pick up more viewers 🙂
I was so disappointed in your decision to cancel after one season. Each episode was always exciting and I looked forward to Thursday nights. I really wish you would reconsider.
Very disappointed in the decision to cancel gang related very very disappointed
We need to give fox executives a welcome party !!! what kind of shenanigans are they up to. This was an explosive show. Great acting, crime drama and suspense. A great lost.
Saddened , but not surprised with FOX. BOOO Fox !!!
Fox had made a very poor decision.
That should say has made a very poor decision.
The best show on television in the last five or ten years, I was totally engrossed in all of the characters. Please bring it back. What is wrong with FOX, you had a powerful, authentic hit on your hands and what some idiot cancelled it. FIRE HIM OR HER!!
Can’t believe you are cancelling the best show of the year! Hope another network picks it up. Really bad decision.
Damn… its very rare for me to get hooked on a television series unless its on cable… Gang Related was the only exception in countless years… Hopefully another channel will pick it up
Please don’t cancel! Cant understand why FOX feels this is a losing show for them, this great action packed show with so much suspense…
Great actors!
Hope its picked-up by some other network & we will continue with the series.
do not cancel this show it is great and very entertaining
man that was a great show, please do not cancel, I was just getting started watching along with my buds at work. I guess we will no longer be talking and guessing what is going to happen next on gang related. Please bring it back.
Please do not cancel gang related best show ever!! I was waiting for the show to air on the 21 & 28 august, and it never recorded I got worried. When will it air again?
Thank you,
Raul Treviño
We love this show. Please bring it back. We never learned about the female or Asian officers stories. So many avenues to go down still. Please renew.
Please do not cancel the school. I look forward to watching the show on Thursday nights.
