Today
were are going to talk about great TV show “The Shield”, because, let me repeat
myself, it is totally great. I was somewhat surprised, that it is not as
popular as “Breaking Bad” or “The Wire”, considering how exciting and twisted
this show was. And it is as much as dynamic, thrilling and addictive to watch,
as the examples, mentioned above.
What is
it about? “The Shield” follows the life of detective Vic Mackey (portrayed by matchless
Michael Chiklis), and his elite task force Strike Team, who are keeping streets
of fictional LA district Farmington safe and clean. The problem is, Vic, Shane,
Lem and Ronnie are no good cops - in fact, they are the worst kind of cops.
Excessive force use, drug dealing, covering gang members for money - Strike
Team is corrupted from top to toe. Somehow, their methods work, but is only a
matter of time, when Vic decides to raise the bar. Until then he successfully
hides the truth from his superior, Captain David Aceveda, his fellow
colleagues, detectives Dutch Wagenbach, Claudette Wyms and officer Danny Sofer,
as well as his own family.
