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?
First of all, loved the show! Thought it had a great story line to it and I can’t believe it won’t be back for a second season! What are Fox thinking? Another Channel should really pick this show up cause I believe there is money to be made and with more exposure could be similar to Sons Of Anarchy! Hopefully another channel will pick Gang Related up for a second season and can’t wait till that day!!
I can’t believe this show has been cancelled!!! My husband and I looked forward to watching every episode weekly. It is a great show that brings real life drama in a thrilling way. FOX, needs to bring it back. Their is not much out there I really can say I enjoy watching but this show is one I truly think needs to come back. Please reconsider bringing it back.
Great show. Don’t get it! Should have continued the series!
Please bring it back. There is no way the writer should end the story like that. There is more that can be written. I really enjoyed watching. Don’t forget, something is in storage. Who should find it, and what should be done?
Omg loved the show!!! Hope you reconsider and bring it back, me and my wife glued to the tv. All I can say is please bring it back.
Gang Related was an action packed show that was well written and kept me in suspense each week. Myself and many of my friends are stunned that the show was canceled. This was easily the best show that FOX has developed in a while. This is one show that FOX needs to reconsider and bring back.
Bring the show back. It had a story. All the characters were being developed. Not the same rinse and repeat nonsense. A show with substance and it’s a network show. It was put in a horrible time slot during the wrong season. The show is very good. Bring it back.
I freaken love the show finally something real… **** that really happens in this fucked up world am so pissed off it got cancel i so looked forward to watching it the minute i walked into work on HULU ;(
Bring it back !!!!!!!!!!.One of the best shows of the season. Always looking forward to see how the story developed .Come on Fox Bring the show back .
Great show please ……… please …….. re-new
This is just wrong GR is one of the best shows on TV and they are cancelling what moron made that decision. Please bring it back. I was so disappointed when season ended and now you are cancelling it. AGAIN JUST WRONG!!!!
I think that was the best show you have shown, why cancel something that is great, I am anxious to see this show continued. I am not some young child my spouse and myself are both in our sixties and really looked forward to seeing this series. I am latina and he is caucasian. Please bring it back
Are they really that crazy? That was an awesome show. I couldn’t wait to see what was next with the story lines. It keep me on the edge of my seat. Shame on FOX!
ARE THEY CRAZY ? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT , WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET IT BACK ON IN THE FALL ?
I also like many others can not and do not believe this amazing show has been canceled!!! Hands down my favorite show this summer and am dying to see how this series will develope ! My gf and I are shocked and disgusted with fox for canceling this show bring it back or loose your viewers!!!
Yeah so are we so we are not watching FOX anymore!
This was the BEST show I had watch in a while,
how did they pulled the plug? Maybe because no one
voiced their opinion or maybe everybody recorded
the show instead of watching it live?(do not know it that matters)
We need to have another network pick it up and put it
in a time slot worthy enough of this show!
no more Sons of Anarchy for me, until Gang Related
comes back!
