 BETTER THAN ANY FILM OR SERIES EVER!!! June 19, 2008

Foret 24 or Lost or ANYTHING that's ever been on TV, video/DVD or in cinema. The Shield simply is the BEST THAT'S EVER BEEN FILMED. Also I have never seen a series maintain its high quality over six seasons. Although not as intense as season 5 - my personal favorite DESPITE BEING CUT - season 6 rocks. With Whitaker down Chiklis must face his worst enemy who is within the team. Season 6 starts out slowly, but strikes hard. A MUST BUY! I don't know whether the UK version is cut or not, but I bought it and watched it, and didn't care if it was cut. Everything you need to see is here.
Chiklis and ALL the other cast deliver striking performances, the writers are just fantastic and unlike other series you don't get unnecessary episodes just to fill up the total no. of a season. Ok , there's only 10 episodes, but every single one of them keeps the story going. Looking forward to season 7.
Don't worry about whether it's cut or not - it's excellent June 16, 2008
While the structure is a little odd and the ending definitely leaves you very eager for Season 7 this is a complete series in every sense that matters. The plot and character development is excellent as always and of course, the action is relentless. If you are a shield fan, or even think you could be, the only way you would be missing out would be to not buy this.
Exceptional TV making and exceptional entertainment May 2, 2008

Please disregard the strangely obsessive comments about running time; this series is a treat not a cheat. Splitting what certainly feels like one long season into two (5 and 6) does lead to a slightly perplexing carry-over of the John Kavanaugh/IAD storyline and you might need your memory refreshing if you've allowed yourself a break between seasons. In terms of criticism, that's about it. Exceptional TV making and exceptional entertainment from beginning to end.
The Shield, The Sopranos, The Wire: all different, all outstanding, all hugely enjoyable. It is a little disturbing that serious and seriously violent crime should be the subject matter of such cracking entertainment, but there you are.

if i had never seen the shield i would think twice after looking at one and two star reviews.i still think if you think the series is THE BEST then put higher star award...the debate about getting cut short on episodes is a different matter entirely.
You couldn't guess where this goes!!! April 22, 2008

Season 6 is absolutely AWESOME. There are fewer episodes, but some of them are longer in length. I think perhaps the Shield being shorter series is maybe one of the things that keeps it so fast paced and fresh. the Saga of Vic and shane, IED, the money train and the death of Lem and Vic keeping his job, just gets deeper. it's gripping stuff - the shield is by far the best drama around at the moment. first class...........
