The last 3 seasons are GREAT. The escalating tension level is so high. And maybe the greatest finale episode of all time.

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.

Then it is likely you will get less out of it than the many fans. A key to the show is the continuous ratcheting up of the tension, to almost stressful levels for the viewer (well, at least me). Still, I think the show really focused in S5-S7 on a tighter plot. And Forest Whitaker just kills in S5.

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
Walt Goggins killed it in Justified, I'll always think of him as Boyd Crowder, although he was good in The Shield also. In the same vein I'll always think of Michael Chikilis as Vic Makie.

It helps if you watched both shows as they aired. He was great in The Shield, but took it to another level in Justified, so watching The Shield after can be a let-down. The guy also has top-level comedy chops.

It's actually loosely based on a true story and from what I've read, the true version is somehow worse than this.
Yeah, the Rampart scandal. They were going to name the show that originally, but ultimately felt it was too constrictive.

Apple has such a crap interface. I have to hunt for what I'm looking for in the iTunes app on my desktop to purchase it. They certainly don't make it easy.

There's a really nice blurau box set on ebay for about $60. You can also see these on Hulu in HD.

Agreed. Although that SOA ending…
I didn't love that and I don't think it was true to his character.

This show taught me to never get caught alone in a crack house with a crackhead.

Minor thread resurrection, but wanted to note that I'm still watching even though I intended to quit after two seasons.

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.
