Gritty cops and robbers at their best with some cops acting like robbers at times. A must a see!

What an amazing show! So intense, it's almost hard to adjust back to reality when the show is over.

The first time around we missed The Shield from the beginning so never got involved in it. But from seeing bits and pieces I was determined to watch reruns eventually. Well having the entire first season on DVD is fantastic! We watch a few episodes at a time and thoroughly enjoy it. Michael Chiklis was great in The Commish and even better in this rough and tough role! The ensemble cast are all great and even though Vic Mackey has some rather unique methods of enforcing he seems very realistic!

okay..i am used to Cop-Shows-with-a-little-Philosophy....THE WIRE...HOMICIDE:LIFE ON THE STREET...even NYPD BLUE....but this baby....uhhhhh...is a whole 'nother smoke...Dirty Cops without Shame.....Violence without Apology....and still, this Team "gets the job done"...of course...these guys screw up plenty...and know it...nearly every episode has Vic looking decidedly ill at some fucking Faux Pas he's committed....but hey, life goes on, right? I notice some Character Actors from other Series showing up here...and it's good to see CCH Pounder in a lead role...i'm up to Season 2...yeah, i'm a "junkie", too.......
