One of the most perfect television series you could ever see. To this day I have yet to witness a better series finale than the unpredictable, hugely satisfying conclusion this show offered.
I fucking love The Shield.
One of the best show, must watch!
Kurt Sutter got it write twice. This awesomeness to progress to the perfection on SoA. Vic Mackey is a great character of necessary evil, but what happens when you cross the line.
Amazing show. Probably one of the top 3 cop shows in history, imo.
Just watched the season 5 finale of The Shield. I feel like i got kicked in the guts over and over!!
Let the Binge watching begin!•!•!
I love this show. I've watched it completely through a few times. If anyone is wondering you can get Seasons 1-6 on Canadian Netflix right now and season 7 on Netflix Brazil (in english :P).
One of the best show ever!!!
Loved the show! Totaly worth the time...
One of the Great series ever
Whatched many, nothing like this. The best ever series ever watched. Simply amazing. How did not I know this gem???
This show will make you reassess your moral convictions. It will have you rooting for the bad guys and despising the good. Great show...
Does this follow anti-corruption predominantly, or merely the officers being corrupt?
Watching it again! bloody great show
Really loved it, saw in only 20 days 7 seasons
When it first premiered, The Shield had a refreshingly realistic view of law enforcement only outmatched by The Wire.
But the inherent problem with the show appeared in the very premise – the cops have to get away with too much from the very beginning. Back in the early ’00s, it was easy to take this, though, because the acting was so good, the situation novel, the issues thought provoking. But that premise was just too much.
Incidentally, I watched this show in a really strange order: seeing bits of the first few seasons, then watching most of season five out of order then, years later, watching the first four seasons before I couldn’t take it any more. (I was dreaming of the show in my sleep.)
This is a brilliant series. I had no idea what to expect next. Kept me on my toes. I especially liked the team's and his family's dynamic with Vic. Vic is a corrupt cop who is extremely selfish. He does good somethings somtimes, but he is a menace. Lots of complicated characters. Not realistic but enjoyable nonetheless.
Highly recommended series. You could say that it is at the level of “The Wire”. Engaging from the first episode.
Mediocre if you watch it in the 2020’s
Might have been great 2002
A surprisingly boring and uninteresting slog.
After finishing malcolm in the middle series season 1 on 131220, I came here for first season. I watch series season by season.
I needed to watch a season of drama, crime. I hope i can enjoy :)
I will edit this sometimes.
Damn this show is so fucking good OMG
Just finished my second watch of the Shield, I went through it in about a month, still the fucking holy grail for me.
One of the best finales I've seen. It's a good story, although it could have been told in a much shorter way, which would have made it perfect. I felt there were too much filler in the middle, but first couple and the last season made it a worthwhile watch.
its an evergreen in background viewing and a superb one if you watch for the first time.bewarenof depression after the show is over....just for being over :-)
AWESOME!! I really enjoy it
10/10
Una serie impresionante, me ha encantado, un final apoteósico a la altura de las siete temporadas.
Une de mes 5 series preferées. Le top du top, tout est parfait: le casting, le scenario, la realisation, la photographie, les seconds roles.... Je pourrais continuer comme ça pendant des pages. A voir absolument pour tout series-addict qui se respecte. En plus il y a un debut et UNE FIN, chose qui devient rare de nos jours.
Magnifique série avec une fin magistrale. Chapeau !
En un mot : énorme !
Tres bonne serie policiere :-)
Grande série policial.
