Any other Shield fans out there? Is it just me or does this show just keep getting better and better. I got hooked during season one and have watched religiously ever season since. On New Years eve I introduced my buddy to the show by showing him the first few episodes from season one. I got hooked again and ended up watching all four season again, figured I would catch myself up for the new season which just started a few weeks ago.

For those of you unfamiliar with the show it stars Michael Chiklis as Vic Mackey, a corrupt cop with good intentions. Vic runs a special forces unit called the strike team. Vic and his guys are constantly getting themselves in sticky situations but always find a way to land on their feet. The show is broadcast on FX which allows them some more freedom than they would have on regular network TV. They swear, there is light nudity and a fair amount of violence on the show. I highly suggest checking the show out, if the first episode of the first season doesn’t grip you I will be very surprised.

This season is especially good so far, Forrest Whitaker has joined the cast as an IAD detective who is trying to take down Mackey and his guys. Whitaker has made a great addition to the cast, I have always liked his acting and he is proving to be worthy foe to Vic and his guys (although he got totally owned last night). Last nights episodes could be one of my all time favorites, it was a real nail biter and the ending was super satisfying.

The Shield is on FX at 10pm on Tuesdays, check it out.
