Does /tv/ like The Shield? I think it's the best cop show out there, Mackey is one hell of a character, he can be in the deepest shit and still can convince the audience he's still in control of the situation.
Dutch is the greatest character of all time
still holds the greatest ending in all of television.
>enjoying gangbanger of the week episodes

>I barely watched the show: the post
>Lem suddenly grows a conscience when things go south
a real 10/10 show, hence why the redditors on here never discuss it
Everything would've ended a lot better if Rawlings had stayed as captain.
>Mackey executes a fellow cop in the first episode
>he never does anything remotely as radical for the rest of the series
i loved it when it was on tv but when i marathonned it i realized it's probably the most repetitive tv show ever.
to me the shield feels unlike any other show, vic and his crew really feel powerful and like they can do anything without going way off the rails. i like the show a lot
aged terribly
the steadycam gimmick is awful
>>70366385
Yeah, episode 1 always felt so disconnected from the rest of the series. I think it was just the hook to sell viewers into the theme, but it felt really uncharacteristic
>>70366385
yep, thats the catalyst for the whole series.
>>70365847
/tv/ convinced me to check it out and I'm very grateful, I've almost binged season 1 and am just gonna keep going. I think the Wire is better at this point because the 2 guys on Mackey's crew aren't quite doing it for me, but otherwise it's a based show, I had no idea. Now getting out of this thread to avoid spoilers!
>>70365847
I just started watching this show. I don't get what the deal with the bald guy is but he's pretty cool. Everyone gets their asses kicked in this show lol.
Dude reach out to green for the blowback lmao
Is this the best scene in the shield?

It's one of my all time favorite shows, along with The Sopranos and King of the Hill.

This. If he killed Terry, why didn't he kill Kavanaugh?
>>70366687
>mfw he gets cucked by Vic
>>70366765
>fucking a mentally ill woman just to annoy someone
Based Vic!
>>70365847
I think The Shield is a great show, but I could never see a bald manlet as threatening in any way.
>>70366859
Vic used the power of his badge to enforce his manipulative ways
>>70366859
>wields power
>has connections
>experienced with dealing with violent criminals
>physically strong as fuck
>has no qualms about hurting someone
B-but I'm over 6 ft, surely I can beat him up!
>>70367168
This was before the menlet meme became a physical reality. Anyone over 6 ft now can surely beat him up and won't be intimidated by him at all.
>>70366859
Most people said they could never see Micheal chiklis as an badass until they watched the shield.
Dude went all out on that role

SPOOK STREET

no filters on this show, I love how they showed the niggers as the shrieking repetitive monkeys they are. Not pretending they are fuckin chess master philosophers like the reddit pandering wire
>>70366385
He's almost a completely different character in the earlier episodes, a psychotic jock with a gun.
Vic's daughter was such a shitty actress that at first I actually thought she has autism too.
daily reminder that Antwon won the shieldbowl
>strike team dismantled and disgraced as corrupt cops
>Lem dead
>Shane dead with his family
>Ronnie soon to be his prag
>Vic stuck behind a desk for 3 years with no location on his family while everyone hates him
>his boy Moses running the show and the niners are as strong as ever
>spookstreet weakened
>armenians taken out
>mexis with their cartel masters outed
>salvis are a non-factor
>the barn is undermanned with a sick captain with "muh african pride" complex
4k release next year
>>70366074
was he a serial killer?
>>70370522
No, but he could empathise with serial killers in a way, feeling different, a reject of society I think.
someone sell me on this shit
i keep seeing people praise it but i still know literally nothing about it aside from that its about police or something
how does it compare to the wire for example
>>70367509
There are few shows that really dare to go all-out with the racial banter. Oz is the only show that I can think of that does it ever more than The Shield.
>>70370764
It's about corrupt, but effective cops. Just watch the pilot if you're interested.
2nd best show FX ever made behind Sons of Anarchy. Vics wife was a cunt, he should have shot her. And that entire last season was epic.
