History Series / LAsFinest

A series spun off from the ''Film/BadBoys'' films, with Creator/GabrielleUnion reprising the role of Syd Burnett from ''Film/BadBoysII'' but now transferred to the [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles LAPD]]. Creator/JessicaAlba plays Syd's partner Nancy [=McKenna=].

* FairCop: It's Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, c'mon, this was inevitable.

* MeaningfulName: Syd and Nancy... hmmm....

* BigBad: Gabriel Knox is the main threat of Season 1. [[spoiler:For a while, both Carlene and Warren used this alias, only for the former to prove herself as being the bigger threat.]]
* CowboyCop: In her pursuit of Gabriel Knox, she becomes this.

** In addition to the events with her brother and partner in Miami, Syd was compromised on another undercover assignment to infiltrate a major drug trafficker Gabriel Knox and was beaten and shot as well as left for dead. This causes her to miscarry and is a driving force during season 1.
** Nancy came from an abusive household with an alcoholic mother. Nancy and her first boyfriend Dante Sherman resort to theft in order to get enough money to start a new life. Dante eventually and willingly takes the fall for their crimes after he gets caught. Also her younger brother shot and killed [[spoiler:their abusive mom]] and Dante and his brother hid the body. In season 2 she starts having PTSD from her time in Iraq.

* DragonInChief: Carlene Hart is this to the unseen Gabriel Knox. [[spoiler:In truth, both she and Warren used the alias. Carlene then proves herself to be the ''real'' BigBad of Season 1.]]

* BadgesAndDogTags: Nancy served in the Navy before becoming a cop
* CowboyCop: Sydney in her pursuit of Gabriel Knox becomes this

* DisappearedDad: Joseph Vaughn, Sydney and Marcus’s brother is this to them. See LikeFatherUnlikeSon for details.

* FingerprintingAir: A textbook example with Nancy mocking a murder suspect on how he was so smart to wipe the gun clean but "the bullets inside are ''riddled'' with fingerprints."
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All the post-pilot episode titles reference movies executive producer Creator/JerryBruckheimer worked on, hence the episodes [[Film/FarewellMyLovely "Farewell..." and "...My Lovely"]]. With the season 1 finale called... "Bad Girls."

* MissingMom: Nancy’s stepdaughter Isabel [=McKenna=]’s biological mom was killed in a car crash by a DrunkDriver.
* SpearCounterpart: Sydney is essentially the male counterpart to Mike Lowry.

** Sydney is baffled as to why a woman named Kat, who she's never met before, seems to know her and why a gangster is gloating "you thought I'd never find her" before he has Kat shot. The reason becomes clear when Joseph bursts into the hospital and, with a stunned Sydney watching, yells [[spoiler: "where is my ''daughter?'']]
** Sydney is thrown by Warren being upset at her getting close to nailing Gabriel Knox....until he tells her [[spoiler: "''I'' am Gabriel Knox."]]
* WorkingWithTheEx: To investigate Gabriel Knox, Sydney’s division works with the DEA, which includes Sydney’s ex-lover Warren Hendrix.

A series spun off from the ''Film/BadBoys'' films, with Creator/GabrielleUnion reprising the role of Syd Burnett from ''Film/BadBoysII'' but now transferred to the LAPD. It started in 2019, and was cancelled in 2020 thanks to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Creator/JessicaAlba plays Syd's partner Nancy [=McKenna=].
