This is it, the final reckoning for Vic Mackey and his colleagues on Farmington PD's Strike Team. Will Vic, Shane and Ronnie stay ahead of the various forces working to expose their illicit dealings?
The Shield started out as a decent police procedural cops of varying ethical standards, and has evolved over seven years into a fascinating battle of wits and wills between corrupt cops, cynical politicians, dangerous criminals and even the occasional decent person. It's one of the few shows I can think of that has continually become stronger with every season. This closing series continues that trend, ending with an intense, extended final episode. It's really very good stuff, and I honestly feel it's good enough that the show as a whole deserves a firm recommendation.
Good writing, great performances, and a firm sense of closure: even if not every single storyline is fully resolved, the show knows which stories do need to finish, and gives them all a satisfying conclusion.
