It won a Golden Globe for Best Drama Series and star Michael Chiklis won both the Emmy and Golden Globe awards for Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

"...one of the top police dramas of the past decade...[with] a strong, well-rounded cast..." Britt Gillette, The DVD Report
"Once it grabs you, The Shield doesn't let go." Chicago Sun-Times
"...riveting police drama...compelling...spellbinding television." Dan Heaton, Digitally Obsessed!
"...the hardest-hitting, most balls-to-the-wall show on television, and one of the high points of the seemingly emaciated cop genre." Dave Johnson, DVD Verdict
"The Shield is America in microcosm; entertaining the audience as this show provokes thought on very real issues that face all of us today." Home Theater Info
"The storylines are tight, there's rarely ever a dull moment, and it's well acted." Ron J. Epstein, DVD Talk
"...stabs the cop-show genre in the gut and rubs salt in the wounds...a must for any lover of crime fiction." Tor Thorsen, Reel.com
Editor's Note
Shawn Ryan, a regular writer for "Angel" and other programs, created this crime drama to challenge the mores of televised entertainment and to provide a heightened reality with increasingly complicated moral questions. Michael Chiklis stars as Vic Mackey, perhaps television's most no-nonsense detective. The entire second season (13 episodes) of the acclaimed show is presented here.
