* SexySurfacingShot: The opening of "Defense" shows two FanserviceExtra girls surfacing out of a pool with a slow-mo MaleGaze shot in tiny bikinis.
* ShakingHerHairLoose: Billie is introduced offering her hairpin for Van to use as a HairpinLockpick, and she does so while shaking off her hair loose from the PrimAndProperBun hairstyle she had before. Ironically she never wears her hair in a PrimAndProperBun ever again, meaning the only reason she had it in the first place was so she could do the trope.
* SherlockScan: In "Gone Native", SuperCop Dallas is able to tell right away that Van and Deaq are undercover cops, by analyzing their body language and what they have in their cars.
* ShirtlessScene: The two male leads often get scenes where they're shirtless, almost OncePerEpisode. Deaq is even introduced while playing basketball shirtless. The [[FemaleGaze zoom-in on his chest]] and the fact he's the only one who's shirtless makes it clear it was done for the {{Fanservice}}.
* ShortRunners: The show only had one season before it was canceled due to its high costs.
* ShowerOfLove: In "Slippery Slope", Cassidy and Van end up having sex in the shower of the hotel room they're staying. It turns into a ShowerOfAwkward when none other than Sophia, [[InterruptedIntimacy busts in on them mid-sex]].
* ShowerScene: Cassidy gets a {{fanservice}} heavy shower scene in "Slippery Slope", with several MaleGaze shots of her body as she sexy poses for nobody under the shower spray, though the camera [[ShouldersUpNudity stays above her shoulders for the most part]]. It is also torture for Van, who is waiting outside and has to hear her shower while not trying to think about her naked. When she comes out in just a ModestyTowel and [[DressHitsFloor drops it in front of him]], he succumbs to her seduction and ends up sleeping with her.
* SiblingTeam: The VillainOfTheWeek of "Gone Native" is a team of Russian siblings who works as {{Arms Dealer}}s, Katiya and Dimitri Federov.
* SoftWater: In the pilot, Van and Deaq get into a fight at a hotel and both end up falling off the balcony, but because they land on the pool, they come out of it unharmed.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Van convinces Deaq that Andre talked about him when he reveals he knows Deaqs favorite movie is ''Film/TheToweringInferno''.
* SpiritualSuccessor:
* SuicideByCop: After being betrayed by her BestFriend and being cornered with no way out, VillainOfTheWeek Jade decides she'd rather charge into the cops than be arrested and put on death row. She's promptly shot down.
* SuperCop: Dallas in "Gone Native", is a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf]] superstar ATF agent who cleared dozens of cases by himself, and constantly shows off to the protagonists throughout the episode.

* SweepsWeekLesbianKiss:
* TakingTheBullet: At the end of "Gone Native", Dallas ends up taking a bullet meant for Deaq and ends up dying in his arms.
* TakingYouWithMe: Villainess Skylar attempts to do this with Van at the end of "Offense". After her car crash, she pleads with Van to help her get out, but when he gets near she shoots the fuel tank so they would both die in the explosion. Van just barely manages to OutrunTheFireball.

stocked by the seizure of assets from criminals: all the best cars/weapons/designer clothes/etc that would normally go up for auction are sent to the Candy Store instead.

* WorkoutFanservice: The three leads often have workout scenes at the Candy Stores that are played for {{fanservice}}, with MaleGaze or FemaleGaze camera shots of their bodies.
* WouldHitAGirl: DirtyCop Adam Kane is portrayed as a HateSink when he starts beating up Cassidy on a public beach for wanting to stop working for him.

''Fastlane'' was BuddyCopShow that ran on {{Creator/FOX}} from September 2002 to May 2003. It was centered around the Candy Store, a base of operations for deep-undercover cops with access to the most impressive cars, weapons, and other confiscated toys. Their motto: Everything we seize, we keep; everything we keep, we use. Their goal: infiltrate various big-name crime organizations and take down their leaders. Pretty much like ''MiamiVice'', but in the City of Angels.
