Killer acting and plenty of suspense. I'm glad I didn't have to hang on for 6 years. The stories are fraught with moral ambiguity, well expressed by these actors, so you will ask yourself more than once why you're rooting for the bad guys. More evidence than television is increasingly superior to Hollywood films. I never stopped wondering where they found the greasy old church for the "office" set, or if they could actually have created it. Believe it or not I don't watch TV, I just randomly purchase series without knowing a thing about them, and this one was great.

I do not watch regular TV unless I am working out of town and at a Hotel. I had never watched any of The Shield before I bought the set. WOW. Can't stop. Hooked. I really like this show and all of the actors. It puts YOU the viewer in the "Barn" and makes you feel like your part of it, not just a viewer. Great writing makes you love and at the same time hate people on the show. Sometimes you "feel" for the bad guys/gals and the same for the sometime good/bad guys and gals. A Must see for any fan of action, drama, cops, or just good entertainment. I try really hard to only watch two episodes at a time but sometimes I just can stop watching and blow through a whole disc.
I bought The Shield: Complete Series as a birthday gift for my husband. He talked about the show all the time, and how he wished he wouldn't have missed the last 2 seasons. I never thought I would like and/or appreciate the show, especially knowing that Micheal Chiklis used to play 'The Commish'. I am now obsessed about watching the show. I won't even agree to watch any other movies until we are completely done with the series. Every episode leaves me wanting to watch the next. Micheal Chiklis is the complete opposite of The Commish on this show. He plays a character that you love, but have to hate at times. There are other characters you love, others you hate, and best of all....they all make you want to watch the next episode. If you like crime shows...CSI, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, etc.....you'll love this show (on a completely different level)! However, I wouldn't recommend this show for younger childrenRead full review
I had forgoten how incredible the cast was. How powerful the story line was. And how easy I was pulled back into the series. This has elevated to the most conroversial and BEST series that has ever hit the small screen. We have only begun the 3rd season, and I am so damned addicted I know that Vic is gonna take me down for watching it all over again. . . .yeehhhhh. Incredible! DO NOT let your little ones watch this - - you should be at least 55 years old to watch the series without your Mom setting next to you (with the contro in her hands). A thrill to see some real life action and excellent writting.
I have yet to play the DVD Series that I purchased, however after looking at just the book & then the discs I already know how great a buy this was! I am new here & was skeptical, but I'm feeling pretty good about this purchase! It is a birthday gift for my baby brother. He has wanted this series as long as I can remember. I've looked at used ones in pretty bad condition & for twice the price! I feel like I should be thanking you! With that being said, Thank You! I know he is going to love this & I get to love the money I saved! It all looks like new!
