Brooklyn South is a short-lived American ensemble police drama series that aired on CBS for only one season during the 1997-98 television season. One of the show's producers was Steven Bochco, creator of many well-known police dramas such as Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue. The show was also created and produced by David Milch.

    The series attempted to create a setting of a gritty, realistic police station similar to that of NYPD Blue, but differed by focusing on the uniformed police officers rather than the detectives. The pilot of Brooklyn South was noted as the first TV-MA rated episode on broadcast television.
