The shield was always one of my favorite shows. It hooked me from the very first episode. Thanks to Vic and his corrupt strike team there was never a dull moment in the show. Moreover, the show was always consistent and the quality never dropped. The peak of the show for me was always season 5 and season 7. The show had the advantage of being thrilling and gut-wrenching compare to the classics like the sopranos, 6 feet under and the wire.Some shows you like, some you love , and there are those rare TV shows that stick in your head years after ending not just because you loved them, but because of how they got you to think and how they ended . The shield was truly a game changer.
Although I believe that Breaking Bad is the best drama, the best ending goes to the shield. Amazingly after all of these years I still believe that The Shield had the best season finale in TV history. The 70 minute season finale was filled with emotion, powerful dialogues, and intense confrontations. Unlike nowadays, which killing characters has become the main way to create a buzz, reaction or an emotional scene, this episode proved that you can do all of that if you just adhere to the characters and their past in the show. The most powerful scene was between Claudette and Vic in the integration room. Just Wow! I could not keep my eyes of the screen for 1 second. Shane's letter, the look on Vic's face, even the way he walked out was amazingly written and performed.
I am writing this review 6 years after watching this episode and I still cannot forget the look on Vic's face. This episode was the utmost show of respect to the show's fans and viewers.
So memorable
A Perfect 10
