    My favourite show, I really liked Shane tbh.

    Best season I can't say one the worst was when the new guy took over the strike team

    All the series were excellent. Cannot remember which is which though fo the most part. I would argue series 5 is probably the strongest. The John Kavanaugh character was incredible. Probably the tensest of the lot.

    Though series 4 with Anton Mitchell was pretty special as well.

    Series 7
    The confession was incredible. Absolutely spine tingling.

    Poor Ronnie.

    Sorry for bumping a month old thread, but I hold the Shield quite close to my heart :)

    My favourite show hands down. Watched it in full twice, just rewatching S07 now. I loved the character development, how everything tied in together and especially how things you may have forgotten about tended to pop back into the show and catch you off guard.

    Hard to write something about this on an iPad without spoiler tags!

    Yeah, LOVE The Shield. Fav character is probably Shane (Cletus Van Damme). Liked Dutch as well.Best scene has to be Vic interrogating the paedo in the holding cell.Going to watch the whole series on my next long haul flight.:D

    No,I mean Vic. He asks the guy if he would like to come around and have it off with his young daughter."Good cop and bad cop are gone home.I'm a different kind of cop".

    Just finished watching all seven seasons of this over the last three months. I'd seen the first five seasons as it aired and then somehow lost touch with it (Work and college maybe). I remember thinking it was good, but I'm struggling to think of why it isn't locked in my brain, in a way that say The Wire is. It's that rare instance when you revisit something and it's actually stronger than I remembered.

    Having finally finished it.... well Holy ****, that ending. They absolutely landed it and it was such a precarious tightrope they were on. And the first few eps of season seven, were perhaps the weakest in the show, but ****, it really came together. I can't think of a show with a better ending*, almost 24 hours later it's still going around in my head, trying to make sense of it. Amazing performances throughout.

    It's displaced Breaking Bad, as my second most recommended show.


    *Boxsets on sale have 30 minutes missing from what originally aired, so find the full thing.

    My understanding was that it's the season 5 ending that had been heavily edited for the region 2 DVDs, that the region 1 set was left in tact..? There are some comments on amazon.co.uk about this.
