    I just started watching The Shield recently (Not to be confused with the Marvel show that has a similar name). The show is actually somewhat revolutionary, a gritty, morally ambiguous police show with lots of violence.

    It is based off the Rampart district of LA and revolves around a special team of thug cops (Strike Team) who are incredibly brutal and corrupt. But they get results so at times the brass looks the other way.



    Fans of The Wire will like the show @CRUDS @GoT @Dee @titantrusince82

    There is some similarity with Season 3 of The Wire. The Strike Team allow one drug gang free reign, and even protect them, as long as they keep the violence down.

    Without The Shield you would likely not have The Wire, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead and several others.

    No major spoilers here:

    That’s the show with the short bald headed white cop?? I think I remember that show from back in the day when I was a kid.

    Showed on FX?

    Yeah, it was on FX. Writers and producers from that went on to work on The Wire and Sons of Anarchy.

    Vic Mackey is completely different than the Commish. The second video talks about how he worked out like a fiend to land grittier roles, and not end up typecast.
