The Shield: A Look back



Yep, I loved watching The Shield.  It was a groundbreaking show for its time. This show came out during the time of The Wire, The Sopranos, 24, and Sons of Anarchy.  These shows would push who we would watch as leading characters because these characters went dark.  

It was a way to show how dark a character would go over time.  Plus, the complete shock is that Vic, the main gray character, kills the “hero” character in the very first episode.  This shows that Vic is a villain and not an anti-hero.  This show went to some really dark places even after the first season.

Anyway, this YT video goes through each great season in great detail in a wonderful review.  Given how much I love SOA and Mayans, I need to rewatch their spiritual sequel.  There are a few threads and groups that have connections to the SOA universe, but I don’t think there is a true connection between the two universes.
