The ShieldFeatures
The Detective & His Reflections: The Shield: Sixth SeasonThe nihilistic, morally blurred world of The Shield reflects the inner workings of its characters. [26 September 2008] The Shield: The Detective & the LieutenantDetective Vic Mackey kills cops, steals money, and beats suspects. How, then, can the man trying to bring him to justice be the "bad guy"? [9 May 2007] Reviews
The Shield: Season 4Most of the brilliant fourth season is focused on the interplay of Vic with the two single-season 'heavyweights', Glenn Close as Captain Monica Rawling and Anthony Anderson as local kingpin Antwon Mitchell. [23 January 2006] 
The ShieldVic is the man in every way: mean, impulsive, voluble, in love with his authority but resentful too, resisting his own responsibility. [21 March 2005] 
The Shield: Season 3The Shield's moral center perpetually shifts, as the Team members struggle to maintain their sense of balance, caught between the outright villains and their own dishonesty. [24 February 2005]
The ShieldThe success of 'The Shield' has doubtless upped the ante in regard to what networks will allow -- and resort to -- in order to gain ratings. [7 May 2002]
The ShieldAs played by new Emmy winner Michael Chiklis, Vic Mackey is casually racist and homicidal, by turns charismatic and appalling. [7 January 2002] |
