Regina King as Lydia Adams

King plays Lydia Adams, a dedicated detective for the LAPD’s robbery and homicide division. She’s the definition of tough, running down the bad guy even when pregnant, pulling out shotguns to protect witnesses, and just being an all around great detective with good instincts. She’s said to have an emotional connection sometimes to the cases she works, and has struggled to maintain one consistent partner over the years, but no one who watches can deny that her character, and the cop drama as a whole, is bad a**.
