Review: The Shield, Seasons 1-6

Oct-25 » Filed Under: Movies & TV » Posted by: Todd

This is perhaps my favorite tv series of all time - I'm still debating it. High on my list are The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under (all HBO shows!), but The Shield is right up there, if not at the top. Here's the basic set up:

The story of in inner-city Los Angeles police precinct where some of the cops aren't above breaking the rules or working against their associates to both keep the streets safe and their self-interests intact.

The show is shot in a documentary style, features excellent acting, offers intriguing stories, and is very fast paced. The lead detective, Vic Mackey (played by Michael Chiklis), is one of the best characters on tv. Season 7, which will be the show's last, will start next year, so get caught up quickly.

(4.5/5.0)
