Synopsis: The The Shield - Complete First Season (2002)
Synopis: Shawn Ryan, a regular writer for "Angel" and other programs, created this crime drama to challenge the mores of televised entertainment and to provide a heightened reality with increasingly complicated moral questions. Michael Chiklis stars as Vic Mackey, perhaps television's most no-nonsense detective. His violent, brutal methods bring results, but are often despised by his colleague Detective Wyms (CCH Pounder). Also included are a cast of layered characters including a homosexual cop (Michael Jace) and an officer who is also running for office (Benito Martinez). The show's popularity on the F/X network comes from its hard boiled delivery emphasized by unflinching portrayals of police brutality and unclean street language. Episodes have been helmed by first-rate directors including Nick Gomez (LAWS OF GRAVITY, THE SOPRANOS) and D.J. Caruso (THE SALTON SEA).Yahoo! Shoppers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed:

Cons: Nne
The Shield is one of those shows that transitions you to the next level of television entertainment.
This realistic portrayal of police detectives in the fictional city of Farmington is thrilling and enlightening.
Some will hate these characters, but all will keep their eyes glued to the TV screen to see what happens next.
A must-have for any crime show enthusiast. ...






Pros: Vic Mackey
Cons: I cant find any!
This show is by far the best thing ever to grace my eyes in a long time. The storyline, the actors, the director, all come together and make this the best cop drama on tv to this date. Forget NYPD Blue or anyother "spin-off" this is your last stop in the quest of great cop tv shows. Thank god there is still some good directors and writers out there that can still make something as good as this. ...
