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 say boycott Fox, Resurrection Blvd was another show that was cancelled
Bring it back. Don’t cancel a good show.
It is a great show please don’t cancel it
The show is great , my husband and I love it , do not cancel it
Bring it back!!
I really hope TNT or FX or AMC picks this show up. Big mistake canceling this show. I really hope it had nothing to do with race. This show is so good and has so much potential to be big. I didn’t watch Bones or Sons Of Anarchy or Walking Dead till 5 or 6th seasons and now I’m addicted. This show has that in its writing. Plz keep Gang Related or another network pick it up.
great show-bring it back
This was a show that my family enjoyed… I told my daughter that it was going to get canceled, all my favorite shows get canceled. This could of been better than the show “Orange is the new black” or Gotham, which I watch every week, I would switch any show on right now to watch reruns of “Gang Related” Its a shame it was a good one.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW! One of the best show on!
Cancelling this show was a big mistake I hope another network picks it up. I will absolutely be on the lookout for this on another network and definitley spread the word to other followers of this terrific show.
I can’t believe this show was cancelled! There are very few shows that my husband and I both enjoy and this was one of them! Please reconsider bringing it back! Plus Ramon Rodriguez is not bad on the eyes.
This show should not have been canceled. Gang Related was a thrilling show, and would admit competition to Sons of Anarchy. Please bring this show back.
I thought it was a thrilling show. I can not believe that it was cancelled. What were they thinking? I hope they will change their minds.
It was one of my favorites. I am deeply saddened to hear that the show was cancelled. I am hoping that there will a reason to bring it back soon.
I loved the show even though they killed off his girlfriend. I was worried when the show ended with everyone going in the prison after Javiar what was going to happen or who was going to take over??? You should re-new the show with Daniel taking over the business and going from the good son to the dark son. Ryan should be allowed to continue to play the fence with the DA and help clean up the gangs. You could also use the task force to put in some current issues facing the country such as heroin and its effects… Read more »
Please bring back the show!! It was such a great show!!! I really enjoyed watching it!!!
