[.ca] The Shield: Season 2

love it.:
if you like the shield, this season was just as good as season 1. the 3rd season is on now and it is also very good. this show rocks!

Vic Mackey's Gang Keeps Jammin':
I often miss the televised episodes of The Shield, so it was a great 13-hour marathon watching the second season DVD last weekend. If you're a fan, this is a must see; if you haven't caught an episode yet, get the first AND second season DVD's and you won't be disappointed. Without giving away plot lines, Vic Mackey, as head of the LAPD's "Farmington" division Strike Team (remember the Ramparts division scandals?) is a complex, almost Shakespearean character,played impeccably by Michael Chiklis. Rooting for him and his corrupt yet noble team feels a lot like cheering Tony Soprano and the Jersey boys, except the Soprano family rarely, if ever, brings down the hardened criminals...they just compete with them. The supporting cast are no slouches either; CCH Pounder is awesome as the righteous yet street-wise Lt. Claudette Wyms. This is cop-drama at its absolute best.

Still getting better:
After buying season 1 I enjoyed every episode and got season 2 right away. This season was even more compelling then the first with Vic facing off with a Mexican drug/gang lord trying to take over the streets. I found myself watching three episodes at a time and burning through the season in less then a week. Almost every character on the show is so real because they have flaws and strengths, this makes the show so much more then most and I strongly recommend it to adults but not kids.

Amoral victory for season two!:
The Shield's second season did something nobody expected-achieved higher greatness than the first season. Absolutely phenominal series, a must-own boxset.

Addicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
I have never seen such an action packed show since the "Sopranos". My husband and I are totally addicted to this show. What makes it better is their stories really happens in real life. They did such an amazin job with this show. Everytime we watch this show, there's always something shocking going on. It deals with life's hardcore issues. Politics, power, money, sex, infidelities... you name it, they deal with it! I hope the STRIKE TEAM will keep on strikin' Absolutely wonderful!!!! You have to see this series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
