Mysteries on TV: The Unusuals and Southland Premiere This Week

Mysteries on TV

No new mysteries on TV series are scheduled for release this week on DVD, but two ensemble crime dramas located on opposite sides of the country are set to debut on network television.

In New York City are The Unusuals, set in the world of NYPD detectives where every cop has a secret.

The Unusuals (ABC)

In the opening episode, Detective Casey Shraeger (played by Amber Tamblyn) has just been transferred to the homicide unit from vice and is instantly thrown into a setting of bullets and bodies. As she begins her new assignment, Casey finds that the force is full of secrets, which serves her well, since she's keeping a few of her own. But her first case is not an easy one, as she's assigned to investigate the death of one of the department's own, the former partner of Detective Jason Walsh (Jeremy Renner), who is now her new partner.

The Unusuals premieres Wednesday, April 8th at 10PM (ET) on ABC.

Southland (NBC)

A raw and authenitic look at a police unit in Los Angeles is the premise of Southland. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, this fast-moving drama will take viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.

Michael Cudlitz plays John Cooper, a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie). Cooper's honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer.

Southland premieres Thursday, April 9th at 10PM (ET) on NBC. For those who can't wait, NBC has the pilot episode online at NBC.com.
