Southland was ill. I feel like everyone missed it.

Still hate that cliffhanger with his character.

Yeah same. Also Ben McKenzie's character going from newbie straight cop to crooked veteran was really interesting. He became the thing he swore he wouldn't be.

Wait, what? Have I completely blocked out my memories of the final season? I LOVED Southland, but admittedly got tired of NBC (and eventually TNT) jerking us around with whether or not there would be a next season. By the time Cooper's "did he die?" scene aired, I was exhausted and checked out.

Yeah if I remember right, Ben bent some rules (i think they stole a video tape or gave false testimony) to help his partner get custody of his son. The partner was feeling guilty and was going to come clean. Ben didn't like that/didn't want to get in trouble. He had his girlfriends brother break into said partners house to steal evidence. Brother ends up killing the nanny. Ben then has to cover that up and lie to his partner about it. Partner finds out in the last episode and they fight each other. That's all I remember.

Cooper getting shot was the last season unfortunately.
