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?
WOW!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE THE SHOW GOT CANCELLED… HAVE THEY LOST THEIR MIND… I WAS A FAITHFUL WATCHER!!!!PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK….PLEASE
I can’t believe it….I was sooooo looking forward to the next season. The most interesting show in a long time. On pins and needles waiting for the next episode. Say it it’s so…
This is one of the best shows keeps you waiting for things to come . I even had my daughter and her husband hooked on this show. I really think it should continue next season. The good shows always seem to get dropped.
That was one of my favorite shows on FOX, major let down that it was cancelled.
Please bring it back!! great show, love the cast!!!
My husband and I love that show. We were kinda sad about the show being cancelled. I’m hoping that they will change their mind.
I can”t believe such an exciting show has been canceled. I hope Fox reconsiders because this was a winner. Fox come to your senses this show had me on the edge of my seat waiting for next weeks episode. The characters intriguing the cast perfect. Please don’t let me down!
f*** f*** f*** and a million more f***s, and you tell I’m upset.
i think it should definitely be renewed i don’t know what is wrong with the networks lately anything that is worth watching they seem to cancel after one season they should look at cancelling some reality shows such as naked and alone or whatever the heck it is called.
ohhhhhhh nooooo!!! so sad about this. I was looking forward to season 2. but why???? bring it back!
Cannot believe that this show was canceled! The actors, the storytelling, the aura! Another great, great show gone!!!!
If u cancel this show I will stop watching FOX. This show has you on your toes it’s AMAZING and interresting and I just could not wait for Thursdays to come around to see more. If a 2nd season doesn’t come around u guys r ****** stupid. If it’s cuz of low amount of viewers then advertise more. If orange is the new black can make it this far so can gang related. These r equally rated shows in my eyes. I’m begging please don’t cancel!!!!!
Fox,
I cannot believe you are cancelling this show. Im previous law enforcement, and loved this show. So sad. No other good fox shows now!
Wish it would have been renewed was looking forward. To season 2
Please don’t cancel this show. I loved it.
I was looking forward to a season 2. It’s one of the best series I’ve seen in a long time. Too many things were left unresolved on this show,would have definitely watched season 2!!!!
