Topic: The Shield
The Shield is about an experimental division of the Los Angeles Police Department set up in the fictional Farmington district ("the Farm") of Los Angeles, using a converted church ("the Barn") as their police station, and featuring a group of detectives called the Strike Team who will stop at nothing to bring their version of justice to the streets.
Shawn Ryan is a genius. I don't know why I've been postponing The Shield , maybe because there are 7 seasons , but it was on FX and with only 13-15 eps per season it's perfect for me right now. Thanks to the now canceled The Chicago Code created by the same Shawn Ryan I bumped The Shield to frontrunners on my next-list.
And Boom - It's the best cop show ever. It's so addictive I can't watch anything else right now. I've seen 3 seasons in a few days.
I recommend it to anyone that doesn't have a problem with a dose of violence - It was on cable so they kept it real.
Here's a taste just in case you know nothing about the show- Trailer
