Despite a secret past in which he pledged allegiance to a powerful Latino gang, Detective Ryan Lopez is now a respected member and rising star of Los Angeles' elite gang task force. When his best friend and partner is slain by an infamous gang member, Ryan teams up with task force member Cassius Green, who has been at the forefront of the war on organized crime. While Ryan is still beholden to gang leader Javier Acosta, he feels an increasing sense of loyalty to his task force as they take aim at dangerous gangs, helping him to determine which side of the law he is really on.

Clunky dialogue, clichd relationships, and an escapist action-flick aesthetic combine to subvert the ambition for gritty realism. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 05/23/2014
2.5/4
Once you get used to the cliches, the loudly telegraphed plot developments and the unrelentingly phony look of the set, the show becomes watchable in subsequent episodes, thanks to a few of the key performances and some well-directed action scenes.

Gang Related... rolls with so many stereotypes and tropes it clanks. Or would do if it weren't so buried in gunfire/mood music. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago 07/02/2018
Gang Related often feels unfocused, frequently ignoring seemingly significant characters Go to Full Review Andy Swift TV Line 08/29/2014
It's a bold move for Gang Related to make such a divisive character its main focus, but it's one that ultimately pays off in the long run. Go to Full Review Carla Day TV Fanatic 05/29/2014
4.7/5
