I'm going to fight the power here. The Shield is the best show on television right now (Lost isn't on) and it deserves its own thread. This is it.

I only noticed the other week I own a leather jacket exactly like Shane's.

Good idea to make this thread two episodes from the end of the whole show. :fp:

Better than making the thread after the show had finished.

Upon searching, there are two 'hugely popular' pre-existing threads already.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1275&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=shield

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1959&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=shield

This thread will probably have more replies than those two combined before I go to bed in a fe minutes. :fp: A sad state of affairs.

I'm alternating between this, West Wing and The Wire at the moment. Good times. I've just finished Season 4 of Weeds and that was pretty good too although most of the characters are arseholes.

If you ever played GTA San Andreas ,picture a show which is a cross between Sam Jackson's CRASH team and a police procedural.

I really need to watch this. I fancy it more than starting The Wire, because according to seemingly everyone in the world as soon as I watch that I'll think less of every other TV show, and I don't want to do that. Do I need to start right from the beginning, or is there anything I can afford to skip?

You need to start at episode 1.
