Just done the whole of season 6 in one viewing. 

Impressive, most impressive. 

 

Now that it's on All4 - is it the UK or US TV ending? I seem to remember a different cut for the Channel 5 ending. I had dodgy DVDs from America so got the real deal but i seem to remember some confusion/anger over the way it was handled on British telly.

I’m currently on Season 6 of this now and as Philly once said “I’m addicted to the Shield”

 

It’s truly superb, I can’t put into words how much I love this show.

 

Vic. Lem. Dutch and Claudette. Shane. Aceveda. 

 

All their stories just get better and better with each passing season and the one liners from notably Vic and Shane have had me pissing myself, my favourite has to be from some white banger though...

 

I’m getting more black ass than a bus seat in Compton. 

 

I’ll have the whole thing finished by the end of the week and I’ll be gutted but probably go straight back to it.

Have loved watching this again on 4OD (yep agree about the awful adverts though!) I'd forgotten just how good it is. 

 

A lot of its best bits are subtle, the looks, the glances, the camerawork. For example, I didn't realise until repeated viewing that Vic is sort of responsible for Aceveda's rape because he sticks that bong down the fella's throat. It's never explicitly stated like it would be in a lesser show. 

 

Also, Mara, what a twat. Wonderfully written and acted shitbag.

For years on this site I've seen you reference Vic with lines like "Vic Mackie would never let this shit fly" 

 

Well you've been bang on the money there Vic Mackie wouldn't let any shit fly. What a fucking character he is. 

 

I even shazam'd the song that played out at the end of Season 5, I knew it was The Smashing Pumpkins, but didn't know the track. I'm listening to it now, it's called Disarm, for anyone that's interested.

Yeah there's some boss tunes on it. It's got the honour of having the only good Coldplay song on it, Kingdom Come, when Lem gets arrested. 

 

Full list here.
