Whilst the first series of The Shield was highly enjoyable and brilliantly made, this is where the word 'masterpiece' comes into play. This series ranks proudly alongside the very best of Six Feet Under and The Sopranos. With pitch perfect acting, wonderfully inventive direction, and skilfull screenwriting that can rank calmly alongside the true greats, this is rich evidence of a show gleefully coming into its own. The entire series is driven by a deeply compelling sub-plot about the possible robbery of a large ring of Armenian drug runners, and the relentless drama never lets up for a single second. Wonderful, superlative television. Don't miss!
The Shield is one of the best TV shows to have emerged in the last few years. It is based around an experimental police dept in LA. The cops seem to act above the law and are sometimes worse than the criminals.
At first the show seems simplistic but in actuality is very complex and explores the relationships of all the officers. The programme can be very brutal but every episode had me on the edge of my seat.
Rent all four discs of this series immediately.
