I am addicted to The Shield

Brilliant, loved every episode. Thought the ending was very good with Vic a broken man placed in his equivalent of hell, stuck in an office abiding petty rules wearing a suit. Not sure what he was doing when he left with the gun tucked in his belt.


Glad you liked it mate. The last few episodes were incredible.

Was watching an episode of Seinfeld the other day, series three, from 1991, and Vic Mackey showed up in an episode. I knew that I knew him from somewhere but I honestly couldn’t remember where, because he was younger and had hair. Had to Google it to find out where I knew him from. 
 

I had no idea that Vic was an actor before he joined the police.

I can't believe it's 20 years old. Man, life absolutely flies past. I originally started watching it on channel 5 - it was on late Friday nights so I'd record it as I was usually out boozing back then, and I'd watch it on a Sunday morning. My dad recommended it - I'll always remember him saying that I've got to watch this new programme. He had it on one weekend and, yep, he was right.

Read an interview from Walton Goggins(Shane) when he said he reckons Mora knew what he was doing and they had an off screen conversation about their family meeting.

 

It would be entirely in keeping with everything we know about their weirdly loyal, unhealthy relationship.

 

Dont disagree with this. That episode was really hard.

Stayed out of this thread for years as I have been meaning to watch the show and didn't want spoilers. 

 

Started watching a couple of months back and finished the last three episodes last night. Wow. 

 

I echo what most have said about the pace of the episodes makes it addictive viewing. Also, yes some of the acting is not great from some second level characters (Corrine) and third level (Cassidy) but it makes up for it with Walton Goggins, who i already loved watching in Justified, but also liked the Dutch and Claudette relationship throughout the series.

 

Will I watch it again? Probably at some point, might give it a year or two though. 

 

I am going to rewatch The Wire next though.

 

 

Corrine is Ryan (writers) wife and is also in S.W.A.T another of his creations. 

 

Cassidy is Vics real life daughter.
