The day I decided after three episodes that 'The Shield' wasn't quite it, must have been the day when there was a little less oxygen in the air. 'The Shield' is very, very fantastic and all that. If your trailer starts with: “Mack is not a cop, he's Al Capone with a badge”, then you can't go wrong. Add to that the fact that season one received more Emmy nominations than Marco Borsato TMF Awards and you know this is a must-see series. If you go well on corrupt cops who don't shy away from a bit of unnecessary violence here and there, that is. A snack version of The Wire. Yep, I just say.
such series had to be more. Realistic, raw, hard and well acted. Every time you are sucked into the world of Vic and co. The season finale ..... sweetie ..... goosebumps
This is still the best cop show I've ever seen. Brutal violence, detailed, good music, good storyline, good acting. A must see for those who haven't seen it yet
One of the best police series I know so far. Tough, realistic, action-packed and fantastically acted. Still the best part of Chiklis. Series that could have continued for years to come. Unfortunately stopped. Absolutely recommended!!!
I came across the box, season 1 to 7 for 55 Euro at Bol, now well on the way in the first season. But I think the series is already great... Indeed a must see for a little series lover
Highly recommended! One of the best series of the decade. Realistic, hard, confrontational, exciting and after 7 seasons a final that is guaranteed to make you silent. An epic of a police team in a downward spiral. Give yourself real quality and watch the shield
During a period of sick leave I watched this series consecutively. What an experience this was to experience. He is also number 1 for me. The Barn and the practices that take place there and with which they keep getting away with. It is all equally well thought out and acted. Soon I will be watching season 1 again on Blue Ray. It's been about 10 years ago so it's about time.
