    The Shield was one of two shows I have ever watched (I am 50) where nearly every episode's writing was perfect. I remember so many times exclaiming at the end of an episode how they nailed the ended. It made me eager to see the next episode. It also, in a time before streaming, was a show that I knew religiously, the continuity of the characters' stories, everything. For them to make a weekly show where we all devoured each subplot and each relationship was artistic. The only other show that I thought compared to it on acting and writing was the HBO show it competed against for Emmy's and Golden Globes. I for one give the edge to The Shield.

    I remember my wife got me the box set as a stocking stuffer on the first christmas we shared as bf and gf . And i was so impressed that she would know this was favorite show or at least liked it because our taste in movies and shows are polar opposite( i finally got her into anime). Its only until a couple years ago did i find out she had conspired with my brother and my had said to the shield because he was a huge fan and knew he could take it whenever he wanted . And turns out its currently in a shelf in his house.

    I haven’t watched tv for 10 years. My brother and niece just passed away in December and it absolutely has destroyed me. I try to take my mind off of it so I asked my sister for her Hulu password so I could watch something. Mind you I’ve always been wanting to watch the shield because I used to watch clips of it on RUclips just like sopranos and the wire. So I’m on S4 E9 and it’s the best show I have ever watched. I’ve already been watching clips farther up to see what happens I couldn’t help myself. I’ve seen what happens to Vic and Shane and Lem. I can understand know how Vic feels losing everything. I know what that feels like. I can feel his pain. I wish I could’ve died with my brother and niece because I’m already dead. I go to sleep every night wishing I don’t wake up anymore. I’m so lost and broken. I can’t believe this happened. This can’t be real. I’ve lost myself in this show and it has helped me. Thank you for helping me ❤️

    Best show of all time, bar none. I cannot tell you how much in love with the show that I am. I didn’t find it until season four was started but after watching the very first episode of season one, I immediately binged every episode up until I was caught up.

    This show has made so much of an impact on me that I haven't really seen anything that comes close. This includes Breaking Bad, The Wire, Halt and Catch Fire - I call those shows my 2nd tier favorite shows. The Shield just hit so differently. I understand how the cast can't seem to move on from being part of this impossibly great work of television. This show for some reason really made me know the characters like nothing I've ever watched

      That’s true, Michael Jace really fucked up doing his wife like that which makes him a piece of shit and he most definitely deserves to be where he is now for the next 35 years but admittedly he was really good in the shield despite what people say.

    I remember watching it just because I was curious about seeing The Commish play an opposite character. The end of the first episode right after Two Time shoots at them I said to my friend, "really shows what heroes these guys are" then immediately after Vic shoots Terry and my friend and my mouths just dropped. We were speechless for what felt like an hour then he just said "holy shit". Greatest premier, greatest finale, and greatest show ever!

    The Shield was a massive part of my life for 7 years and a pretty big part ever since.
    When I get asked about Shield vs Sopranos I give this personal anecdote.
    Back in Autumn 2009 my wife was pregnant with our first child. I was nervous. And in order to have something that I could judge according to time and let the pregnancy go quicker, I decided in about October 2009 to watch all the Sopranos and all Shield. Alternately. Sopranos one day. Shield the next.
    That lasted until about April.
    I always remember the difference.
    When I'd finished watching an episode of The Shield, I was always blown away, and whilst I loved Sopranos, I always felt like I wanted to watch Sopranos just so I could get to the next episode of The Shield.
    When I'd finished watching a Sopranos episode I was always on a high knowing The Shield was next.
    Sopranos I LOVED to watch.
    Shield I HAD to watch.

    • @Moltisantiproductions
      @Moltisantiproductions 7 месяцев назад

      In my opinion I prefer the sopranos because I found it more consistent but the shield at its best was far better than the sopranos at its best and the ending was much much better probably my favourite ending to a tv show ever.

    Just the first few seconds of Vic and Lem wrestling happily on the couch... I was emotionally unprepared for the deep sense of resolution and closure :D Not even sure I'll see the rest of the program now ;) It took a while, but a cop show finally came along that could best Hill Street Blues. Imo Shield narrowly edges ahead of HSB because HSB was meandering a few times story-arc wise in the later seasons, but the inevitability of Shield's long story keeps it on the straight and narrow from the first to the last frame. An amazing accomplishment.
