Regina King as Det. Lydia Adams

From the New York Magazine’s Vulture:

On TNT’s Southland, which airs the first of the final four episodes that NBC commissioned and canceled tonight, Regina King (Jerry Maguire, Ray) plays detective Lydia Adams, a tough yet emotional officer whose partner, played by Tom Everett Scott, was shot in last year’s season-ending cliffhanger. (He lived, and returned this season, albeit in an off-duty capacity.) We spoke to King about learning to walk like a cop, and why NBC was a horrible, horrible parent.

How did you feel when NBC canceled your show before the second season even aired?
It was disappointing. It was very disappointing, there’s no denying that. But I never had the feeling that the show was going to be over. I felt like we were going to go someplace else. It was hard to see this many people putting this much energy into something and think it might go away, just because of a couple of people who aren’t really that smart over at NBC. I could not believe that.

How is TNT treating you?
