| | | The Road to Justice Will Blow You Away!
Features: DVD, Pan and Scan (TV Format), Dolby Surround Sound, Audio Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Featurettes, English, Spanish Subtitled, 4 Discs
After a rocky start, Detective Vic Mackey and Captain David Aceveda have formed an uneasy alliance that Detective Claudette Wyms is determined to destroy. Vic's personal life is in shambles and a new nemesis on the street forces the Strike Team to risk everything in the pursuit of one last big score for their "retirement fund."
The Shield made history with the most Emmy nominations ever for a basic cable drama. 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. Brace yourself for a powerful second season that's even edgier and more in-your-face than the first.
"...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.
