Central Division is a police drama web series about detectives in the LAPD's downtown precinct (known as Central Division). The show premiered on July 20th, 2009.[1] Central Division was created by Aleem Hossain and stars Brian Silverman and Clay Wilcox.[2]

History

[edit]

A lack of gritty cop shows on television in 2009 inspired Hossain to create one on the internet. He had been a longtime fan of programs like Homicide: Life on the Streets, NYPD Blue, and The Shield.[3] Hossain wrote and directed all four episodes of Season 1, which were shot on June 27th, 2009 in Los Angeles.[4][5]

After leaving an internal affairs interview the two detectives find a body in the trunk of their car and this sets off the major events of the first season.

Dauntless Media called Central Division "a series worth following"[6] with a "truly shocking twist."[7]
