Can I Get A Pet Platypus

Tv Eye: The Shield.

From March 12, 2002 to November 25, 2008 was broadcast on the FX channel one of the key titles for understanding the evolution of the format of TV series in the last decade . What started The Sopranos, The Wire and others gave a new twist thanks to Shawn Ryan and particular creation: a series centered on the escapades of a group of corrupt police detectives, violent and illegal methods but that make a difference on the streets. Is Evil Necessary?. Addition would also include the day to day in the commissary of Farmington (fictional district of Los Angeles) through a pair of detectives, uniformed police and another all under the supervision of a police captain with political aspirations.
The title is due to the shield-shaped plates of the polis (design that has nothing to do with real goat's body not LAPD) and the plate is a shield that would keep the city away from crime, but what happens when the criminal who has the shield?
Over 7 seasons consist of 88 episodes of 40 minutes we will witness the acts perpetrated by the Assault Team (in charge of organized crime) that integrate Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis), Shane Vendrell (Walton Goggins), Curtis " Lem "Lemanski (Kenny Johnson) and Ronnie Gardocki (David Rees Snell). The scripts not judge or demonize the characters, they expose their actions, leaving the viewer to draw his own conclusions. We add a realization almost documentary, taken from Mount speedico Run Lola Run (known fact), in a Los Angeles "post apocalyptic" full bands of different races and cultures far from the usual glitz and glamor.
The character of Vic Mackey has been raised to the altars to Michael Chiklis committed to removing the long and dark shadow of the crooked cop with papers kinder (and dull) in TV and film (he participated in the horrible movies of the 4 Fantastic) but earned him the recognition of the spectators, critics and Emmy and a Golden Globe highlight both have merit in a series with high-caliber actors, chapter by chapter showing no small role, but that can not be cataloged stars, but they participate as authentic side class people like Glenn Close, Forrest Whitaker, Laura Elena Harring and Franka Potente.
After a year and a half waiting with Sony edited success last season on DVD I decided to stop waiting on my own and I can only say the final season the writers, with Ryan at the helm , composed a coherent final act of this film in 88 chapters.


To understand the image must see the final chapter.


The Shield is and will my series, which I liked, the more I was hooked. The Sopranos (which I have not been completed) will lead to fame as The Shield carding wool.



If it is too much to ask someone to spend 2 hours of your life watching a movie imagine you recommend for a series. But if you give it a chance it will not disappoint, I guarantee it.
