Le corrupt cop
And?
What happened previously?
Issac Schrader?
Does this shit ever get good?
I'm into the second season, it's a fairly generic, even mediocre, cop show.
Why is it talked about so much? Fuck, The Wire was on around the same time.
Right. I always forget that this happened
It's the white wire without as much character arcs
>it's a fairly generic, even mediocre, cop show
What shows are you comparing it to?
it's nowhere near the wire quality
the wire. This has horrible writing and acting. It's not unentertaining, but I dont get all the fuzz.
You're black.
no
My favorite show of all time next to Six Feet Under and The Sopranos
Season 3 onwards is incredible
They made him... suck.
"Corrupt cop" is a bit of a tautology, you can just call them cops.
Look man they were openly saying "shit" on basic cable, it was cutting-edge stuff
>it's nowhere near the wire quality
You're right, but not in the way you think. The Shield is far above the Wire in terms of quality, especially season 5 - 7.
edgy
not so far, to be honest.
haha funny prank. men can't be raped tho
lolno it's nothing like wire, you must be retarded, don't post again
Was Ronnie gay for Vic?
This. Shield has some interesting episodes, but Yea Forums overrates it.
are we supposed to take this manlet as some kind of bad ass?
Looks like it has exactly the kind of thing you like, gay.
Make me
Says the guy caping for a show with muh fag cop and muh faggy "forced" cocksucking.
Believe it or not, 'TV shows for adults' were still in their larval stage in 2002. The Shield had one foot in the modern camp and one foot in the old network cop show territory.
Authentic Yea Forums adores The Shield. Only reddit tourists shit on it while praising the cuck show: the wire.
This was the first time many viewers felt the power of the alt right flowing through their veins. Vic Mackey is THE most influential character for my own life and many others.
The Nigger has literal gay comic book characters running around in a realistic setting. Omar and Brother are completely out of place and make the show irredeemably shit.
jeffry's a nigger?
>be 31yo boomer
>watch the first episode of The Shield
>get bored and never looked back
Did I made a mistake ?
Where did I mention The Wire? You're projecting, kiddo.
Yes you did. Go back and finish the series stop being a cunt.
The kind of dilating tranny who could think the shield is anything other than BASED as fuck is also a fan of The Wire nine times out of ten.
You missed some of the most kino TV you'll ever see.
I'd suggest you finish season 2 before dropping it. Even if you've decided the series isn't for you the setup with the Armenian money train is brilliantly haunting and the 2nd season finale is a good place to stop if it doesn't convince you to continue watching.
Is the remaster any good and worth checking?
I've never even seen The Wire. Now what?
I did the same. It’s too late to go back now. We probably missed out.
Just handle it already, OK? I'm tired of feeling like I got raped too
Shut the fuck up, Yea Forums gives it the appreciation it deserves
It's about the journey, not the destination. If you haven't been spoiled, it'll just be even better.
It's worth checking out if these minor drawbacks don't annoy you
-One or two of the episodes accidentally used the edited UK version
-The PREVIOUSLY ON music is different
Yes. It keeps the style of the show despite going 16:9. There are a few shots where you can see camera equipment and so on, though. Still the best way to watch it today.
I just started season 5, so obviously I enjoy the show.
But the fact that they're about to turn Lem for the heroin thing is just fucking dumb.
I mean iirc they took one brick as collateral for info on the cop murders and gave it back. That's nothing compared to other things they've gotten away with, like the Angie thing the season before.
Yeah that's how I felt about it too. Maybe it was intentional, the anticlimax of what they're finally snagged on. It was still dissatisfying even if the plot itself developed into something really compelling
>we were going to runaway together to Mexico!....VIC!!!!!!!!
>JUST ANOTHA DAY!!!!!
Sure seemed like it
I started watching this and why is it so cartoony? I was expecting something like The Wire, but this is acted and written way too unrealistic. Will it get better? I only made it a few eps into season 1.
It’s like Spartacus where you have to wait three episodes before it starts getting kino. Except for the shield you have to watch all six seasons before the kino payoff in season 7.
>I was expecting
Well that's on you, ain't it? The Shield isn't remotely comparable to The Wire outside the fact they're held in high esteem. Stop fucking whining about it like you have some legitimate grievance
>le retarded son
I stated my legitimate grievance though
same feeling here.
>le it had to be done
Don't worry about Lem bro
this has been my most successful thread
gun to his head
rather than stand up like a man to his attackers
he takes a man's dick in his mouth
don't think that would play too well with the voters
And?
Wirefags out
it's just a tube of meat, nothing to be ashamed of
there was only certain copies that were affected by the censorsed UK version, and they made a point of sending out replacements for people that got it and should be fixed for new copies at this point
best way to watch it, although certain scenes admittedly don't see much benefit because of how grainy the camera is.
>cartoony
in what way? how is it any worse than "OMAR COMIN' YO"?
>le
dropped
>I mean iirc they took one brick as collateral for info on the cop murders and gave it back
IA had Lem under surveillance and replaced the heroin with a decoy brick. A bunch of dealers get killed over it. Try paying attention instead of looking at your phone zoomer.
>I've done worse
kino through and through
