    Great show. I watched the first four seasons during its run. Got the remaining seasons on dvd. I liked Vic's character best and Shane's character the least. He was always a coward and a follower and that's the way he went out. I liked the fastpaced nature of the scenes. You were never bored and couldn't doze off.

    And was is it with Characters name Shane anyway?

    The Shield had the racist Shane.

    Walking Dead had o.g. shane.

    Remember when Shane fought the black cop and his wife knocked him out with a lamp?

    He just disappeared off the show after that. They did him like they did the 3rd child from Family matters.

    Think his name was Tavon.

    that season with Anthony Anderson was the best...when they robbed the Armenian's..then the Armenian's put a green light on all of them and their families....then the one dude was cutting ppl feet off

    and the underlying beef that Vick killed one of his crew b/c he was a snitch was dope...how he played the FBI lady to get immunity while throwing his man under the bus again..this show was the ?

    The Shield came out a few years too early.


    Vick mackey vs. Forest Whitaker was a pretty good Season.

    Vic told Forest Whitaker's character, "Your wife's ? tastes like sweet butter"!!!!!!

    Antoine Mitchell, that was THAT ?
    Had his whole hood under control and ran ? in prison ......... then got sonned by Vic when he brung up his childhood

    That roll solidified Anthony Anderson as an actor with me. Dude needs more serious work and less goofy sidekick ? .

    I liked the writing of the show and how they cleverly allowed Vic to get away with what he got away with but the one thing that I couldnt let ride is when he ? Forrest Whitaker's wife.

    i watched all the seasons over a span of a few months. dope show. better than about anything else on tv, but i wouldn't put it anywhere close to being a classic. alot of it did seem like stereotypical stuff from crime drama tv shows and some of the storylines were wack and drawn out and the ways that they managed to not get caught were often beyond unbelievable. but still it was an entertaining show.
