But ... This is a tough show to watch. The first few seasons have scenes that will make you cringe (and will likely have your spouse tune out ... if not worse!).
Community Reviews
The Shield is a tense, gritty FX crime drama that stands out for its realistic seedy Los Angeles setting, escalating pressure, and a widely praised finale. Later seasons are described as especially strong, with tighter plotting and standout turns from Forest Whitaker and Walton Goggins. The main drawback is the digital SD presentation, which is called out as poor, with ghosting and a lack of HD making it hard to revisit after seeing better transfers elsewhere. A strong series, but the format limits the experience.
People who prioritize strong ensemble performances, because later seasons are singled out for standout acting and the supporting cast opens the show up beyond Vic.
Fans of FX dramas who like morally messy antiheroes, because the lead performance and the show's hard-edged tone are repeatedly praised.
Viewers who want a tense crime drama with a tightly focused final stretch, because the last three seasons build escalating tension and end with a standout finale.
Fans of realistic Los Angeles police stories, because the series is praised for its seedy, grounded portrayal of the city.
Viewers who need crisp picture quality on a modern screen, because the release is SD only and the image can ghost at normal viewing distance.
Viewers who want a lighter, less abrasive crime show, because the acting is overdone and the tone can feel censored, less funny, and stressful.
People who are sensitive to cringe-heavy early episodes, because the first seasons include scenes that can make viewers tune out.
Shoppers expecting an easy Apple TV purchase flow, because the title may not appear in search and can be hard to buy from the app.

And I'll quote what I said in the recent Justified thread (though you wouldn't know that yet in S2).
Walton Goggins + TV series = gold

Both Chiklis and Martinez started relaxing their jaws and brows juuuuust a little bit in the second half of the second season (even more natural in the third season), the departmental drama continued to expand the focus beyond the strike team, the screen time devoted to Mackie family drama has decreased significantly, Goggins seems to be taking a more prominent role (always a good thing for a show), and I really like how they seem to be using the smartest person in the room (Claudette). There are definitely still some cheesy aspects/lines, but everyone involved seems to be slowly shifting toward a more subdued/realistic tone, so I'm going to give it another season.
I also loved Justified, but I also considered dropping it early because I think it took a season and a half before it really evolved out the "prisoner of the week" archetype and started telling multi-episode/season arcs.
