Man, no idea how I missed The Shield. Been watching for the past month on Hulu. Took a few episodes to get going and it’s clearly a bit dated but holy hell it’s great.
Just started season 5.
One of the five best TV shows ever made in my opinion. Just wait until the end, man. The last season can be a bit weak at times but the ending is legit the best in television history. Some might argue for Breaking Bad but I thought that show's ending was a little too neat. The Shield does a better job of making it feel like everyone gets what they deserve while still being satisfying.
Season five is probably the best in the show's entire run, with four probably being the runner up and then two after that. Kavanaugh is such an incredible foe for Vic and the Strike Team. The Shield in general had some awesome guest performances from people like Whitaker, Glenn Close, and Anthony Anderson.
This thread is on page 420, just saying.
I haven't really felt like watching anything new lately, so instead I've been going back and rewatching some great shows. Did a Spartacus rewatch. That show is always a ton of fun. I just leave it on in the background during work and half pay attention until something cool happens.
Burnt right through Snowfall next. The new season starts in a month and I wanted to get caught up. If you guys haven't seen this one, it's yet another fantastic FX drama. Snowfall is about the rise of the crack epidemic in LA and feels a lot like a companion series to the original Narcos on Netflix, with that series portraying the Colombian side of the story and Snowfall focusing on mostly the fallout in the US.
Wrapped that up earlier today and now I'm moving on to Banshee, which has a lot in common with Spartacus in that it's big, dumb, loud, and constant fun.
