I’ve had trouble staying involved in series TV lately. I start to watch a show, I like the pilot, but week after week, I can’t seem to find the time to tune in. Nothing grabs me.
The Shield series finale grabbed me and never let me go. But the whole series did that. Great acting, taut scripts, and a ominous, scary feeling seemed to be the hallmark of this now classic cop series.
But the finale just sent me right over the edge. They wrapped up every major character arc and left you with a four minute sequence that’s got to rank up the best in TV history.
Coming so close to The Sopranos finale, which seemed to disappoint nearly everyone in some way or another, this show couldn’t have left anyone angry.
Except Vic Mackey.
