yeah gonna order it myself tonight, haven't seen it yet missed it when it was on tv3 and felt 35-40 euro for one season was expensive, seen as i paid between 15-20 for the other seasons when they were on deals. so 15 is a good price now.

Can anyone give an honest opinion on the The Shield and how good it is? Have watched all 5 series of The Wire and just cannot imagine anything coming near that but I hear the Shield is very good too. Have seasons 1-7 and deciding whether this or all The Sopranos will make up our winters viewing:D

Thanks

It's different to The Wire. I found it took a lot longer to get in to and care about the characters, perhaps because there are more storylines. By the end of Season 1 though I was hooked.

I am currently in the middle of season 2 of The Wire and am yet to be bowled over! On the other hand The Shield had me hooked from Season 1. So I would definitely recommend it, especially for that price!

I watched all 7 seasons of The Shield in just over 3 months! It has taken me over a month to watch a seaon and a half of The Wire! Please tell me it gets better?

The mind can only handle one at a time. Think I might give the shield a start and see how it goes.

Thanks all

i have watched 1-3 of the wire and up to season 6 of the shield.. they are both great shows and i'd find it hard to say which one is better.. the shield is more fast moving then the wire.. I love both shows..

HorseRadish

Went for this too....could be waiting a bit with the postal strike though

The shield is much faster paced then the wire plus the episodes are shorter. Both are excellent, the wire is bit of a slow burner with a couple of storylines going through the whole series. The shield generally has a consistent storyline but will have generally have one seperate storyline that is solved per episode (if that makes sense). Both are excellent have way through Series 6 of the shield - wondering after this what next to get?

The Shield is probably my favorite TV show of all time. The first 3 seasons set up the arcs for the last 4. They focus on the strike team working cases on the street, eventually leading up to a heist on an Armenian money laundering operation. From season 4-7, the consequences of this play out in sometimes truly brutal fashion. That's one thing I loved about the shield - when it got violent, you'd sometimes wonder how the hell they got away with putting those scenes in a tv programme.

Also, the final scene in Season 2 Episode 2 is one of the finest sequences you will ever see on TV.

was shown on cable, its how we get great lines like

"Your wife's pussy tasted like sweet butter"


and
"Ay, Mo. Your sister's ass really tastes as sweet as Alvarez here says it does? He wants to know what your momma's putting in the corn muffin. "
