The sound effects are eerie and scary. The camera work is excellent. The performance is pure. The show really works for me.
Ends on cliff hanger. Starts new ep. 5 minutes in its good. next 40 minutes its quite disappointing. Ends on cliff hanger. Repeat.
Season one was good, season 2 meh, and season three ugh... give it up - typical american TV that runs out of a decent story-line and just gets stupid.
Anyone looking to start this show, seasons 1 & 2 are great. Season 3 starts to take a nose dive but still watchable. But season 4 basically goes off the rails, not even worth investing 22 hours of your life. And season 5, metoo movement has basically fucked the show up it’s ass; it’s made the acting so bad it’s not even funny (it’s like the actors read the script & said fuck this I’m just going to go through the motions of acting and hope I don’t have to renew my contract). It’s compete waste of time (I’m on episode 5 & not a single story line has progressed). So watch season 1 & 2 (maybe 3). After that don’t even bother.
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.
It's garbage TV, but it's the best garbage TV ever.
You'll enjoy it because they break kayfabe.
