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?
So dissappointed to find out it’s been cancelled! Great storyline and great acting! Cancelled due to poor ratings…much better than all the stupid animated shows they call “good TV”
Who was the idiot that cancelled this show Gang Related.Not high ratings.What do you
expect when you show it in the summer.This is a great show.How dare you end it the way you did and not continue it.
Shame on me, I assumed this was a summer season show and thought I would see what happened with Javier, Chapel, Ryan and the rest in May. Bad decision Fox to cancel this show. How unfortunate…
OMG that WAS A GOOD SHOW BUMMER IT WAS CANCELLED
This was a great show can’t believe they cancelled it!
Out of all the showes to cancel. Stupid
WoW. I just looked it up. Poor ratings and a very small audience. Whatever.
I am really disappointed. No wonder I could never find it to record the next series. I wonder what the reason was for it to be cancelled. Does anyone know? Other than being idiots.
I really love this show, too bad FOX has a lot of STUPID PEOPLE…..
Right on. They canceled best show every. Guess they cant handle the truth. All the actors were great. What a shame..
They cancelled an excellent show like this and retain stupid ones…….and you people wonder why America is dying. Coz of its stupid people.
I just found out tonight that Gang Related was cancelled. It doesn’t surprise me because It was one of the best shows on the air, so what else is new. They’ll keep cartoons on Sunday night and then cancel shows like this with quality acting, quality story lines, and realism that can’t be beat. I’m beyond disappointed. After the final episode where Xavier was knifed in prison, I wondered how they would develop the next season, and I guess they just decided to end it killing Ryan’s girlfriend and the family leader. Just a shame that we’ll get shows like… Read more »
