Description

Does for the gangland killing streets of LA what David Simon's Homicide did for Baltimore.

Meet Pete Razanskas, a 22-year veteran homicide cop, and Marcella Winn, a rookie detective who grew up in the 'hood. They're an unlikely partnership tasked with attempting to close some of the hundreds of murder cases that occur every year in the gang-infested streets of South-Central LA.

Crime reporter Miles Corwin gained unprecedented access to shadow them during the typical hot summer of endless homicide. We meet the cops, the victims, and the murderers (Crips and Bloods, drug dealers, psychopaths, and even killer kids), witness their incredible daily lives, and hear their stories in intimate detail. The Killing Season is a raw, shocking, and riveting story of an extreme place not far from the ordinary world where war rages on the streets and life has little value.
