This and the Wire are no doubt the cream of crop. But I wouldn't say one is better than the other personally, it's a matter of taste is all. They're definitely both among the best that's unquestionable. But if I was forced to choose, I'd have to go with the Wire. McNaulty and Freeman are my favorite cop characters. Just so believable and relatable. Not to mention Omar and Marlo. Such fantastic characters. Not that this show didn't have an incredible cast of characters, it's just in my opinion every single one of the actors on that show were the best of the best!

When people talk about the greatest shows of the Golden era of TV, it’s Sopranos, the Wire, Breaking Bad, GoT, and so on. The Shield doesn’t seem to get as much love. Maybe cuz it was on FX. Whatever the reason, IMO this is a top 5 all time television show. The acting and writing are incredible. Casting is perfect. Camera work and style is raw and exactly as it should be. The tension just builds and builds without any filler being stuffed in. Vic Mackey is one of the greatest leads in any show or movie. Dutch is incredibly perfect. C.C.H. Pounder plays the part to perfection. Walton Goggins brings Shane to life. All of them really. I hope this show gets the credit it deserves and is rewatched and streamed forever. “Ronald Gardocki, you’re under arrest”. “Arrest? For what”? “FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS”.

Most of the actors on The Shield this will be absolute best thing they're ever a part of or at least in the discussion of the best thing they ever do. Walton Goggins it will be either The Shield or Justified that is the best thing he's a part of. Michael Chiklis, David Reed Snell, Kenny Johnson, Benito Martinez, Jay Karnes, Catherine Dent, Paula Garces and others it's clearly the best thing they'll ever be in. Honestly being in a show that's half as good as The Shield should be considered an honor for any actor.

There was great irony in this finale.

Here, after the entire run of the Shield, Vic is finally facing possible justice for, among other things, the killing of Terry Crowley. Who was played by none other than Reed Diamond.

I would argue that both the Shield and the Aire really aren't "cop shows", the fact that their protagonists happen to be cops is just incidental. they are ultimately dramas, one about institutions, one about consequences. In terms of a pure Cop Show™, where it's clear that that is both the theme and the substance, I think Southland is the best of the modern era.
