"The Shield"

[AnCatDubh]

During our weekly poker game while talking TV a few of the guys kept mentioning how great "The Shield" was. I kept blowing them off but finally a rented the 1st season 1st DVD a few weeks ago when i had the flu. Holy shit am i glad i checked this out.

I got hooked right in. This is one of the best shows i've ever seen. I got a few of my friends into and we all cant believe how we missed out on this over the years.

What a great show.

Anyone else out there agree?

Re: "The Shield"

i used to watch this alot but drifted off the last couple of seasons, but it is a great show. michael chicklis went from being the fat bald commish to being the bald baddass who whups the shit out of anyone who fucks with him.
i did get a bit tired of the show trying to be 'raw' though, random quotes about wangs being sucked by prostitutes, things like that just to by 'racy', lame. but other than that a good show.

Re: "The Shield"

thought it sucked last season and stopped watching after 5 episodes into it.... first 3 seasons were fucking awesome. should have never brought in that no talent assclown forest whitaker. he annoys me to death. bring back glenn close.

Re: "The Shield"

religiously watched this show from the first episode to the last. i love it, but do agree this last season tapered off a little bit. but if you all remember how the last season ended then next season should actually be pretty hott. lookin forward to it.

Re: "The Shield"

I thought Season 5 was champion. The dynamic between Mackey and Forest Whitakers character is brillant.

Re: "The Shield"

LOve this show! I cant stand Forest Whitaker in it though. Hes such a prick

Re: "The Shield"

forest whitaker is one of the highlights of the entire series imo, he is a good character, and works really well as mackey's nemesis.

Re: "The Shield"

Relentlessly brilliant. Don't think it's ever dipped in form, tbh.

Re: "The Shield"

everyone looks over dutch's caracter, i like his character too. he feels like he keeps getting shit on all the time, i think he is a pretty good conflicted character too.

i need to get back into this show and keep up with it.

Re: "The Shield"

Anyone got the release date for the new season? Can't be that far away now. Sopranos too.

the whole cast is good. thought there was going to be a fucked up storyline with dutch after he killed that cat a while back, but never really materialized. im still waiting for Aceveda to get fucked for having that guy killed.
