I'm watching it for the first time. Its on HULU. I'm a couple episodes into season 3.
It starts off great. First episode got me hooked right away. It cools off pretty fast but I still liked season 1. Good characters.
I started getting bored with it by the end of season 2 though. I liked the whole storyline with the guy who got his face burned, I liked where all that was going then it ended suddenly out of nowhere in the middle of season 2, which was fine but it was like they had nowhere to go after that.
Season 3 and the show is pretty formulaic. You got the street level gang storylines which are pretty weak, then you got side stories with the detectives solving homicide cases. I'm getting bored with it. Its just not anywhere near the level of writing of The Wire.
Does it get better?
Anthony Anderson did great in Season 4 away from from his usual typecasting.
Glenn Close was good, and Forrest Whittaker killed it....
"He's just pissing on us!!!"
Do you think Aceveda was responsible for killing the comic book guy from Outkast?Just finished watching the entirety of the series for the first time last night and I am blown away. Thats how you do a series finale. The Shield definitely goes down as one of the best TV shows Ive ever watched, up there with The Sopranos.
Also it has the best worst theme song ever that rivals face the pain
Just another DAAAAAAY
DAAAAAAAY

The season finale imo was kind of a downer. Yeah it exposed Mackey as corrupt IN FRONT of the police department. That and he was a snitch who got his friend busted but saved his own ass. I was glad that his partner Shane killed himself but I wanted Tavon to be the one who killed him but oh well. Now Breaking Bad, that season finale was insane. Talk about tying up loose ends.
That was the beauty of it.
Vic killed a brother Cop on the pilot to cover his ass...
Payment came due with interest by everyone knowing he snitched on his on guy...

The rumor is Vic Mackey became a truck driver and that his appearances in Sons of Anarchy were in fact Vic.Now, I would like to see what happened to Mackey a decade later. What Happened to Ronny in prison. Did Antoine get to him and kill him? Did the Armenian mob find Mackey or his family?How did Mackey's actions affect the police department.?

Totally disagree. I think the finale was essentially perfect. Mackey got everything that was coming to him, on one hand, and yet, on the same token, in his final seconds on the show, you see that he is still defiant and unbroken. I thought it was some of the best TV ever filmed.The season finale imo was kind of a downer. Yeah it exposed Mackey as corrupt IN FRONT of the police department.

Yeah, in some ways it seems to be in the same universe, in others, not. Wasn't Dutch in the show too, as an FBI agent or something?Dunno, there was a scene in jail where the inmates were watching the "The Shield" on TV and Vic was there plain as day...
Then again One Niners and Biz Lats exist in the universe so...
Hard to explain Lem/Kozik.
