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?
I really hope after you have read all these comments you would reconsider your decision. Gangrelated was an awesome show,it left you wanting more. I am not sure what you are looking for when it comes to ratings but this was a great show. I truely believe fox may have made a big big mistake taking it off the air.
This was a bloody fantastic show it had everything, suspense, action and most of all a fantastic story line and cast to go with it……beginning to think that those people who decide if a show stays or goes haven’t a clue what the TV watching audience actually like!!!!!
FOX does it again, terrible decision!! I hope another network picks this show up for a season 2 and 3
Please bring back this show. The actors and the story line was great. I was looking forward to next season.
I love this show! I can’t believe it’s cancelled. Very disappointed . It had a great plot and what a cast. It was suspenseful, it was action packed, and never knew which way it was going to go. Left us with so many questions. Need to bring it back or needs to be picked up by another network. This was a great show please bring it back and give it another chance.
My husband and I finally found a show besides law and order SVU that we actually enjoy watching together! We are so disappointed to hear that Gang Related will Not be returning to Fox for their second season! We were looking forward to this season . We are left without knowing whats going to happen next ? I’m not in the movie tv industry however I’m not one impressed at all with all these crazy reality shows that come on now a days 🙁 I don’t watch much TV anymore because it’s hard to find great shows with great actors… Read more »

I SOOOO disappointed that they did not bring this series back. Since Prison Break I hadn’t found a series that I actually watched on Fox. I hated that it ended the way it did. It left so many unanswered questions. I REALLY think Fox needs to bring it back for at least a 2nd Season
This is a great show! I love all the characters, why is it gone?
I watched every show . I thought the Writers created a plot that was exciting, and had a good pace . I never knew what the next week would bring . In saying that I have cut back on my TV shows because you do NOT know when a show is GREAT,and that show was great. But thank you because I read at least 1 book a week and now I up to 2 book. The WRITER always ends the .Maybe not the way I would like it. If I am going to put that many hours into a show… Read more »
