“We're just trying to present real, believable characters. We've all spent a shift — or at least a shift — riding with a cop, answering calls and monitoring, which has been very helpful,” explained the 62-year-old actor, who plays Sergeant Lazman: “For me as a director, being able to be in that ship and be a fly on the wall is my goal with the audience. “We're trying to draw the audience in and make them feel like they're in that car with us and that they're making these calls with us.” Everyone was in sync on what we were trying to do.

La Salle called bringing in an audience “the main goal.” “No comment.”

“We're not saying (anything), we're just showing. It's up to you to decide how you interpret these characters.

“Our audiences are evolving. Police procedurals are nothing new and they are definitely produced by Wolf Entertainment. “It's a classic and everyone loves it,” Bellisario noted. “Younger audiences are mostly flocking. They watch shows that are less procedural and more character-focused. We're going to use the world of law enforcement but we're going to show it to you in a place you don't see very often, which is Long Beach. It's a whole new society and landscape.

She concluded: “We will not present a case to you and then solve it at the end of it.” There is an overarching story to this season that our characters follow. But it's just about the time we spend between us, this relationship, how it arises and how it falls, the betrayals and beliefs. It's just an amazing incorporation of all these new ideas that I think brings a completely original idea to the show.
