If you haven’t seen it before, give The Shield a try tonight at 10pm on the FX network. I had no idea how great this show is until I caught a reference to it one night (on the screensavers of all places), which led me to the reviewer’s weblog. Long and short of it is that it’s a great show – if you enjoy the Sopranos or The Wire on HBO there’s more than excellent chance you’ll enjoy The Shield.
