Gang Related Premieres on FOX on May 22, 2014
Every villain has a noble cause, and every hero has a dark side.
In the gritty new action-drama GANG RELATED, Detective RYAN LOPEZ (Ramon Rodriguez, “Battle Los Angeles,” “The Wire”) is a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force. What the world doesn't know is that long before Ryan became a cop, he pledged allegiance to a different band of brothers – a 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 longtime Task Force member CASSIUS GREEN (RZA, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” “Californication”), who has been at the forefront of the city's war on organized crime. In this war between law enforcement and gangs, the series explores how only people who really know the streets can win the battle on the streets.
Despite his profession, Ryan is still beholden to the gang's leader, JAVIER ACOSTA (Cliff Curtis, “Live Free or Die Hard,” “Training Day”), the father figure Ryan has tried to make proud his entire life and the man who masterminded his entry into the police force. It's a secret that has been held for a decade by Ryan, Javier and Javier's sons: cold-blooded gang lieutenant CARLOS (Rey Gallegos, “Sons of Anarchy,” “24”); and Ryan's childhood best friend, straight-laced investment banker DANIEL (Jay Hernandez, “Last Resort,” “Hostel”).
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 TAE KIM (Sung Kang, “Fast Five,” “Live Free or Die Hard”), VERONICA “VEE” DOTSEN (Inbar Lavi, “Underemployed,” “Street Kings 2: Motor City”) and Task Force leader SAM CHAPEL (Terry O'Quinn, “Lost”), Ryan's other surrogate father figure, whose estranged daughter, JESSICA (Shantel VanSanten, “One Tree Hill,” “The Final Destination”), is the city's Assistant District Attorney.
Ryan's education comes from the streets, and that schooling will work to his advantage, as he, Cassius and the rest of the police unit take aim at the city's most dangerous gangs. While balancing two allegiances, two father figures and two families, Ryan's increasing sense of loyalty to one will help him finally determine which side of the law he is really on.
GANG RELATED is from 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment, Chris Morgan Productions and Skeeter Rosenbaum Productions. The series is created and written by Chris Morgan (“Wanted,” “Fast Five”). The series is executive-produced by Morgan, Scott Rosenbaum (“The Shield,” “Chuck”), Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer (“24,” “A Beautiful Mind”) and Francie Calfo (“The Great Escape,” “The Playboy Club”). Allen Hughes (“Dead Presidents,” “Book of Eli,” “Menace II Society”) directed and served as an executive producer on the pilot.

At first chasing the armoured truck you would of thought they were trying to rob it but the fact they were trying to stop the robbery was surprisingly violent but Ryan allowing his partners killer to escape must of been frustrating, the tazered in the privates was a great way to get the guy to talk and the way he eventually got his partners killer was great Author: bala Time: 5-7-2014 08:40 Subject: Reply 5#5 codebreaker's post
Yes it was crazy but i liked the way they roll and it was great pilot but i have to say i really didn't expect him to do that but it shows who side he's really on and i can imagine there more close call like this but IA investigation is bad news Author: Milks26 Time: 5-7-2014 09:15 Subject: Reply 6#6 bala's post

The old lady trying to blow their undercover raid was amusing Author: codebreaker Time: 6-19-2014 10:43 Subject: 1x03 Pecados del Padre
It was obvious the convoy would get attacked before getting to court but Ryan risking everything to save the young girl after she ran away was impressive Author: codebreaker Time: 6-20-2014 08:23
The girl still being alive was a surprise as she had her leg cut off and using a vet to steal the girls babies was diabolical but at leased the dogs came in useful by setting them on the suspect Author: codebreaker Time: 6-20-2014 12:55 Subject: 1x05 Invierno Cayó
After Carlos attacked his trainer I had a felling he was going to cause trouble and Ryan standing up for his partner after that racist pig who was trying to sue him and the police for his sons death was great Author: codebreaker Time: 6-22-2014 01:31

He got what he deserved with the dogs and it's good thing he said no to letting him go Author: bala Time: 6-22-2014 07:41 Subject: Reply 16#16 codebreaker's post
Well he want prove he just as smart as his dad but i think he learn to be smart rather than be a gangster but what a lesson he learnt by his father killing his right hand man. . Author: bala Time: 6-27-2014 09:57 Subject: 1x06 Entre Dos Tierras
Well this was racing against the cop to stop the fish scale but Ryan actually having to worked without intel was very challenging he almost did it but he had no choice and things are about getting extremely tricky Author: bala Time: 7-6-2014 06:27 Subject: 1x07 Regreso Del Infierno
Ryan stealing drug back from DEA was a good plan but he didn't know Kash was going to be in the van. Look like Daneal is becoming a change man i suspect he will no long be such coward after that kidnapping. Author: codebreaker Time: 7-6-2014 06:46

The team making fun of Ryan's cologne was amusing and trying to flood the sub was quick thinking but the others coming aboard was predictable Author: codebreaker Time: 7-7-2014 13:48 Subject: Reply 21#21 bala's post
Ryan doing the hoist himself to retrieve the confiscated fish-scale was understandable because anyone else would of killed the officers and what a way to loose the helicopter trail Author: bala Time: 7-11-2014 07:17 Subject: El Zorro y el Gallinero
Well poor Ryan realise he stuck between two monsters but look like he really going another problem if she run that registration number his secret will be exposed but he could explain that. Author: codebreaker Time: 7-11-2014 13:27 Subject: 1x08 El Zorro Y El Galinero
Who would of thought Jessica having breakfast with her father for the first time in five years would end in a gun fight and Ryan keeping the video was predictable and trust her to turn up just before Jessica Author: codebreaker Time: 7-12-2014 08:34
Paul telling Jessica he thinks Ryan is the mole has obviously put her on edge but Ryan is taking a hell of a risk seeing her on the quiet and now she suspects him it's going to effect their relationship but that blood bath was a surprise Author: bala Time: 7-19-2014 23:55 Subject: Reply 28#28 codebreaker's post
Well now she can play him and find out without him knowing because he think he's safe Author: codebreaker Time: 7-25-2014 08:38
That was a tough decision Ryan had to make at the end because he knew IA were watching him Author: codebreaker Time: 7-27-2014 14:29 Subject: Reply 32#32 bala's post
What bad timing for his phone to start ringing just after taking it while undercover but doing their own investigation against the ATF was asking for trouble and arresting Acosta was a great way to get IA of his back Author: bala Time: 8-1-2014 09:32 Subject: La Luz Verde
Things are looking bad for Ryan but his plan was risky just when he manages to get IA off his back his girlfriend finds the connection and it doesn't look good for him . Author: codebreaker Time: 8-7-2014 16:31
It was only a matter of time before Jessica discovered something about Ryan but making sure Acosta didn't get bail did make IA a little confused which was amusing and looks like the guys searching Ryan's place have undone all his hard work allowing Jessica to find the bag they didn't put back properly Author: codebreaker Time: 8-12-2014 13:03 Subject: 1x12 Almadena
Ryan having to make a deal with Jessica was in both their best interest as she was right if she reports him all his arrests will be brought into question but who would of thought Ellis was also in Acosta's back pocket and I cant believe what they did to Jessica Author: codebreaker Time: 8-27-2014 11:29 Subject: 1x13 Malandros
Sam and Ryan were bound to want justice for Jessica's murder but the rest of the team handing in their badges to help was great and Javier being the one who ordered her death because she found Ryan's escape bag was bound to have consequence Author: bala Time: 8-27-2014 11:50 Subject: Reply 36#36 codebreaker's post
Your right she always had inquisitive mind and she found his evidence but i never thought she would hide it and allowing Ryan to explain was rather nice consider he was the mole.
So much for the greater good look like Acosta' really had all his base covered Author: bala Time: 8-27-2014 11:50 Subject: Reply 38#38 codebreaker's post
Things are bound complicated in second season i can't wait
EDIT: so much for me being optimistic
