The Shield is one of the most gripping shows on television and Season 4 is no exception! It was so tempting just to watch all the episodes in one sitting - I don't know how I manage when I have to wait for the new episodes to air on TV! There are plenty of other cop shows on TV but the thing that stands out to me about this show is the character development; shows like Law & Order are so episodic and really neglect to delve into the main characters, but in The Shield the characters seem more real (instead of archetypes) and the longer plot line is way more compelling than an episodic format. Furthermore, the writers challenge social norms and might even make you question our own opinions regarding law enforcement. This show has everyting - action, depth, and a killer plot! The best part about Season 4 was without a doubt the introduction of Glenn Close as Captain Monica Rawlings. Who would've known she could succesfully take on this kind of role? A pleasant surprise! Having Monica and Vic work together was an unexpected but really interesting story arc, and definitely my favorite part of Season 4. Shane's misadventures in the vice unit will also keep viewers riveted. This may be the fourth season but the show is still going strong and doesn't feel old or stale at all.Read full review
This was a super inexpensive buy of the season 4 dvd set of one of the greatest crime shows of this or any other decade that pushes the envelope of what we have seen or will ever see on the small screen. Guest actor Glenn Close was incredible as the righteous but sometimes naive captain taking over duties at the Barn for Acevada after his rise to City Council. I own and have watched the first 3 seasons and the DVD format is the best. My digital video recorder is easier to use, but the DVD discs are PORTABLE. Great to take and watch on a plane thru a mini-dvd player, or while you wait for your car to get fixed! The Shield rocks as it continually rewards the loyal viewer with references to story threads that remain in play for YEARS...and as in real life those years of experience affect the decisions of the great characters developed by the actors in the show! I bought this season 4 dvd set because I got the GREATEST DEAL believable--HALF what I would have paid off-line!! Recommend that you start buying the dvd set from SEASON 1....the first episode is a shocker and sets the stage for the rest of the series...you'll jump out of your chair!Read full review
The shield (seasons 1-7) is one of the best TV series of all time. There is never a dull moment. Vic Mackey plays the ultimate dirty cop leading a small team of get it done no matter how cops ( No one does it better) The shield has it all--great writing/cast/acting/photography/guest stars---Long before "Breaking Bad" and with a lot less lag between family/personal problem scenes back to action scenes the shield stands with few other series in the greatness circle. Like reading a book you just can't put down the shield will pull you in and keep you gripped.
Watched seasons 1-3 so far and just started 4th season. Season #1 was kind of all over the place and hard to follow as was the very beginning of season #2 and then around the second disc of season #2 this show finally made sense and it really picked up. It just keeps getting better and you look forward to the next episode. Bought the rest of the seasons through #7 the final act and am looking forward to the ride. Definitely worth it. I'm a Sons of Anarchy fan and the the characters come from the shield as they share the same writers= Kurt Sutter and Shawn Ryan...its funny to see the SOA regulars in their earlier years...
"The Shield" is the best cop show on the market since Miami Vice. If you look and listen closely there are a lot of morales in this show. I've been a fan since day one. I already have 1-3 seasons and recently purchased season five and this season (season four). When I received my fourth season it was unopened and factory sealed so I know I didn't get a used one. No scratches on the discs. A lot of people don't like crooked cop shows but this one is a must see. Vic Mackey maybe crooked and in to deep to find his way, but still has a heart for the good stuff. A MUST SEE SERIES.
