    Ultimately, the reason 'The Shield' is one of the best police dramas going isn't just its spiderweb plots, the claustrophobic you're-stuck-with-us camera work, or its antihero, although Chiklis -- who won a well-deserved Emmy two years back -- is just as spooky and weirdly amiable as ever. It's the fact that the program regularly yields even its main characters to baleful Fate.

    Once The Shield grabs you, it's awfully hard to turn away.

It lacked any interesting story lines and it was very boring through out the season. So boring that it was a challenge just to sit through it. I did like how the other main characters (outside of the strike team) got a more expanded role in this season but the weak and generic storylines dont really do them justice. Also the main villian of the season (Margos) had an incredibly anti-climactic death, Which was pretty disapointing considering there was a good amount of build up and hype up to that point. Overall, This season was the worst I have seen so far into the series but its still a decent enough show to watch.… Full Review »
