without a doubt THE BEST cop drama ever after watching series 1+2 on virgin media in may 2012 i was without a shadow of a doubt hooked with no other series of this drama being shown on any other channels i had to get the other 5 series double quick which was easy and cheap through ebay . sad as it may sound i watched the other 5 series back to back and have to say the final episode;s were not a dissapointment as many other tv drama series are so if you like action packed drama with flawless acting do yourself a favour and get this series of course this is only my opinion and you know what they say about opinions they are like A***HOLES everybody has one
Best series i've seen for a long time.

Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
From the very first episode I was hooked! An edgy police drama with a seemingly never ending series of cliffhangers and shocks along the way. Waiting for series 7 to be released is hard, the seventh seasons is currently airing in the US, and there is not one bad episode in any of them. The acting is very good, the actors make the characters believable and you will probably find yourself siding with Vic and his team as I was. The UK, Region 2, DVDs come in a Shield series standard card foldout wallet inside a card sleeve so care needs to be taken to avoid damage. Though this is nicer than the four thin DVD boxes that the Region 1 set came in.
Well people, I'll start off by saying that, as a rule, i NEVER watched TV. absolutely hated it. You know, would rather be doing something more constructive. But did I have my eyes opened when this series came along? Now I'd seen a few episodes of CSI and its subsequent spin-offs, which, to be honest, gave us mild entertainment. Then suddenly there was Michael Chicklis taking down dealers, bangers, rapists, murderers and getting something for himself in the process. This has to be the most honest and gritty cop show you could ever see. It grabs you by the balls and defies you to struggle free until youve watched every episode of the season you are watching. As corrupt cops go, Vic Mackey and his Strike Team of Shane, 'Lemonhead' Lemanski and Ronnie, taking on their Captain Aceveda and facing stiff opposition from Wyms and Dutch, this takes the biscuit. No holds are barred in any episode and from Mackey blasting off a dead guys head with a shotgun to cover his own arse, to Aceveda being forced into giving a perp a blow-job, you'll be shocked all the way through. If youve seen any of this amazing series, you'll know what I mean and I urge you to see more. And if you havent..... buy some now and find out what you're missing. The road to justice will blow you away....Read full review
