This series just gets better and better. Easily the best drama to hit our shores. This hard hitting season is the best so far. The addition of Forest Whittaker as the internal affairs officer is a real master stroke by creator Chris Ryan. He shows here why he is easily one of the best actors working today. He never lets up in his one man mission to bring down Vic and his strike team. So dedicated in his role that he actually loses weight through each episode. It is painful and mesmerising to watch. For those who haven't seen the end of this season it will completely blow you away and leave you numb. Season 6 just cant come quick enough.
Having watched the earlier series I was going to watch this one. It is a tense edgy drama with the main role being a corrupt cop. The trick is that you do find yourself rooting for him in many situations only to find that he goes and does something very wrong. He is not all bad and he is not in control of his life. While it sounds unsavory it is mostly about the various relationships with flashes of violence. It is unsettling but I guess I like that because I will watch the next series. I understand it finishes with series 7.
Enjoyed first 4 series but series 5 is the best so far.Forest Whitaker i s brilliant as the Internal Affairs cop trying to bring the strike team down.The battle of wits between Vic and Whitaker really keeps you on the edge.A really great edition to the series.
Absolutely brilliant, all shield fans will love it,Forrest Whitaker plays his part superbly. I would join strike team but i dont think Vic would take a plumber on board.
