There was NEVER a bad episode of this show. Yeah, maybe some were better than others, but there wasn't a single time I watched this series where I was bored or thought it had lost its appeal. A fantastic character study all the way to the very end.

The last scene of the show where Vic is alone at his desk is so powerfull. What an impressive TV show

This show deserves all the praise in the world. As great as anything you can watch

Most underrated series ever

shane and vic's last conversation, vic's meltdown in the hospital, ronnie's ending, lem's ending, shane's ending... a lot of great moments

This series is in need of A rewatch.

When Wyms confronts Mackey in the interrogation room and reads Shane's letter is up there imo. The double finale in general is one of the greatest ever TV experiences for me. Perfect ending to a classic series.

Shane dropping the grenade blew my mind completely, amazing series.

Rewatching it again. The intensity gets you right away,and you have to keep watching because the intensity never stops.Brilliant writing-Directing-Acting-Everything!!!

I've rewatched this entire series like 15 times from beginning to end and every time I get to this episode I get chills.

what strikes me the most about the shield is that even the acting chops of the extras are top notch

One of the most important moments is in Co-Pilot, when they first plant evidence to gain a conviction. Shane and Vic look at each other and say "It was easy, wasn't it?"

One of the greatest series ever. The only series I ever watched from start to finish.

The scene where Vic comes home to an empty house. The song was perfect, Chiklis's performance was great.

1 of the best scenes in my opinion is the scene at the end when Claudette and Vic sit down and talk .... the energy between those 2 actors was incredible

I forgot how awesome Glenn Close was in this. I was surprised that she would be in something like this but she was brilliant and I liked the chemistry between her and Mackey.

I'm satisfied with the clips you chose for this video. No matter how many times I watch the clip of Shane hightailing it out of the barn, I will ALWAYS get goosebumps. That scene was one of those "oh shit" atom bombs... like when Hank found out Walter was Heisenberg.

I remember back in 2003 getting goosebumps watching them looking over the money train cash. Aside from The Sopranos and The Wire, there was very little else good on TV at the time. The Shield was a great surprise.

The scene in "Trophy" where Mackey baits Kavanaugh to ruin their Russian Prescription Drug Sting was also EPIC.

One of the best shows on TV I've ever seen with probably the best and most consistent ending to a T.V. series.

The scene with the Money Train loot is the beginning of the end.

The final phone call between Vic and Shane is top 3

Holy shit that was some good nostalgia. My all time favorite tv show

Honorable mentions: Shane asking Vic for help with Antwon Mitchell after they bugged his car, “You’re my friend” 😢 and the interrogation room with Shane and Antwon, when Shane tried to make Antwon go for his gun. Great list!!!

Top 5 sad parts When Claudett peels the band aid off the little Hispanic girls cheek to reveal the dove tattoo

Vic's confession to killing Terry Crowley is to this day the hardest scene for me to watch LOL

Sometimes I wonder what else Vic confessed after "How much memory does that thing have?" line

Lem dying is the best scene. It’s haunting and the acting is incredible. Walton Groggins kills it and you can feel his pain when he just keeps saying he’s sorry over and over. It’s an amazing and raw scene and it absolutely put the show on its path to its finish. Best scene of this show hands down.

I wish everyone could see this show to see what a Masterpiece every episode was!!!

That whole scene where Kavannaugh realises Vick and Lem were watching him on cctv comfort his missus, they try and make a run for it because Kavannaugh twigged he's being watched so because he's so pissed at their eavesdropping he has Lem arrested on the spot and thrown in the station cage with all the other criminals....... Awesome.

Only show that gets better after every season.. its criminally underrated hopefully they bring it back with Vic as a fed or following claudette and dutch

It's funny Mackey is calling someone a cop killer and a liar.

Think my favorite is Mackey facing Claudette in the last episode, when she tells him about Shane, and then him starting to leave, Claudette getting her win over him and Ronnie getting arrested. This is just the one that comes to mind.

Capt. Rawling breaking Antwon in the interrogation room, Shane and Vics last phone conversation, Shane trying to rob the cokeheads, The strike team break up fight, Shane coming clean about Antwon, Shane killing Lem, Vic exposing Shane killing Lem, Claudette ranting on Aceveda and Vic, and on Billimgs and the chief, Kavanaugh and the fake russian deal, Emolias interrogation and Kavanaughs confession, Kavanaughs rant, Claudette and Dutchs interrogations, Aceveda pulling manipulations and skeems out of his ass to cover up his messes and his rape. Not complaining, theres just so much good scenes to pick from.

one of my favorite shows ever.

I saw this show on a list and just finish watching it and Wow! This show is underrated one of the best shows I watched but nobody talk much about it maybe because it was on Fx and not HBO? This is up there with breaking bad , the wire etc that always get mentioned!

Never watched the show but even out of context Michael Chiklis is great!

watching this show again recently..ive seen it numerous times but a lot of the story is just as relevant today ive noticed.

The first scene is brutal. Especially knowing that Kavanauggh was bluffing about putting Lem in prison.

Had to come and find this. The show was too damn good. RIP lem

This show grabbed you by the throat I. The opening scene and never let go

This series still holds up.

The intensity of every episode after shit started to go bad has never been matched....Awesome to watch in the mid 2000s....

I rewatched the show a couple of weeks ago, in 6 days! I'm really glad you gave Glenn Close some love. Season 4 is my favorite because of her, her performance and her relationship with Vic. Just great. Cheers from France! 🍻

One of the best shows ever. "Victor Samuel Mackey" is the best scene though. Not merely in the Shield, but in the history of scripted television.

So the song choices in certain scenes was impeccable, Live for the Money Train, Nutshell, Smashing Pumpkins, this show was so awesome

1. Vics confession 2. burning Amarillo on the stove 3. vic and Shane's last phone call 4. antwone beating up Shane and killing Angie 5. shanes plan backfires 6. Kavanaugh arrests Lem

Only show I ever met other people to watch.

And how poetic that Lem who was so against the money train was the first to pay the price.

I forgot how good Glenn close was in this show

"I got thrown on a slave ship and given a gun for an oar" hah, brilliant

And how poetic were their punishments. Lem, the good guy got killed by a team member. Shane, the bad guy killed himself. Vick, the leader got himself out but without his family. And Ronnie, the sucker, got jail time..

Honestly you can take five random scenes from the show and it'll better than most cop shows today.

Firstly and of course, OBVIOUSLY, What an awesome AWESOME series this was....

The number two scene, where the guy confesses Shane ordered the hit. Six seasons of build-up, so insanely brilliant.

And in Shane's head the gears are silently turning...1:39

BEST show EVER I'm not willing to debate or argue with anyone about it

Good selection! Thanks for sharing. I miss this show!

Glad to see Trains of Money at #4. Without even one line of dialogue the viewer can tell that every member of the strike team is thinking, "Oh shit, what have we done" However, I'm disappointed Lem's Death didn't make this top 5. Best scene in any TV show I've ever watched. Walton Goggins' performance in it was Emmy worthy!!!

Wow, this was very nostalgic, thanks for posting !! I would also add Vic and Shane's last phone call, Vic torturing and killing the gang member that he thought had killed Lem, and Kavanaugh getting his comupence after getting outsmarted by Vic. Jesus, this was such a great show.

this was an awesome show

1:39 That's the moment Shane decided Lem was surplus to requirements...🤔

Nothin with Anthony Anderson or Forrest Whitaker? They were both A1 in this show.

This is one of the best series made no doubt.

great vid!! thx 4 posting quality content...There's a shit ton of bad ass scenes in this series..

Goddamn this show was so damn good, and it's a crime that it didn't get the recognition it truly deserved.

watching the series for the first time, I'm on the 2nd season now, WOW, what a great show

Cletus vandamn 😁🤣

Awesome video 😁

Really good choices!

tears in my eyes great great great show

That’s a great list!

Great show down to the very last episode. Came out when I was in highschool. Watched the entire series mostly high as a teenager lol

Vic was always trying to stay one step ahead of everyone. it tripped them up.

Legend has it,Captain Rawlings still sits in that lethal injection room

one of the best show on tv

Imo I think Michael Chiklis could more than pull it off as Bruce Cutler role in a mob flick and its fun to think about lol

Esta era mi serie policial favorita y creo que todavía lo es. Noches enteras pegado al AXN viendo al equipo de asalto mas corrupto y a la vez cercano que he visto, si hasta les tomabas cariño. Mención especial para Michael Chiklis quien está magnífico como Vic Mackey, nació para hacer ese papel.

Amazes me that so few people seem to have heard of this show. I'd rank this equal to or maybe even better than Breaking Bad.

Ridiculously good

Live - Overcome ! AMAZING SONG !!!

Good list

This series was gut wretching crazy man,

'We're going to work this out', says Vic. Shane's face looks so very sinister.

God damn this show kicked ass

What a brilliant show! Don´t get me wrong, The Wire is good, but this is on another level.

The first one: the shot to Terry Crowley

The most bad ass scene is when vic is in the interrogation room and stairs at the camera and rips it out of the wall

Glen Close was brilliant. 👏

i have a hard time deciding if its my number 1 show ever or 2 just behind breaking bad but either way its fucking amazing.

THIS show was what put FX on the map. Not Son's Of Anarchy.

these are the top five, please, shane killing lem isnt in this list??

It's really sad when Shane looks into the clubhouse before walking out there.

This was produced by Kurt Sutter, who also made Mayans MC and Sons Of Anarchy. its played out in the One-Niners territory. watch them in order if you havnt and plan to do so. The Shield - Sons of Anarcy - Mayans MC.

Unbelievable show

The scene where Mackey's wife leaves him and he ransacks his house with Coldplay playing.

No matter how muscular I get I will never be muscular 😂

A great serie.. i dont understand why the series end without the resolution of the case of dutch and the young guy

The murder of Crowley was the begining of the show, but the begining of the strike team downfall too

I always thought this about the best television there was, and that's coming from someone that's never owned a television! I was at a friend's house and this came on and I was captivated by how fantastic it was, my friend recorded it for me and let me come over to see it whenever the house was quiet.
