Reviews for The Shield

High 3.5, not a bad pilot at all but def overrated. Anyways, I’m starting The Shield since I’ve had an urge that’s been bugging me for the past couple of weeks and I wanted to check this show out. Vic is already a great protag and he funny asf icl 💀. Seems like he isn’t your typical cop and he cros

what a phenomenal pilot, love the shaky camera, really works for this show pretty fucking heavy with the whole plot I did not see that ending coming, not where I thought this show was headed, wow amazing

No I'm not continuing this just yet, these last few days just haven't been great for me and I needed something a little less heavy that I wasn't going to have to write a lot about. This was great. This is exactly what you could want out of a pilot from a show like this in the sense that it efficie

Really good first episode. Vic is already so peak. His character is so charismatic and the actor is so good. W twist at the end.

Looking at some of the avg scores for this season I didn’t go into this episode expecting much but damn was this so good. Everything about this just felt so natural and transitioned really smoothly. ‘The Strike Team’ just set the bar for the show with that ending, so unexpected man they know what t

the definition of a perfect pilot/opener it sets up perfect the season while leaving room for some new crazy plot twists. The cast is incredible, every character bringing a fresh element to the story and perfectly portraying the themes of the ep (the good and the bad in the justice system). Also

one of the best pilots of all time. the shaky cam is perfect for this show, as well as the zoom ins and quick cuts, giving the show a gritty feel which is perfect for the crooked Strike Team. every character is introduced incredibly well and each one of them has a certain appeal or charm, especially

My mum audibly gasped at the ending. She was shook. This pilot still goes so hard and is such a good introduction to Vic.

One of the best pilots that I have seen. I’ve heard so many good things about this show so I’m excited to see for myself.

"Im a different kind of cop" This could be the best episode in the season and I would still be happy. One of the greatest pilots ever

great pilot, vic’s funny af

Such a good first episode, better than I remember it being when I first watched it. super to excited to watch this and will probably main this and pace out dexter. I saw the first 2 seasons a while back and tbh idk why I stopped, the episode to episode plots became a bit dry but I won't have that pr

@MrAlderson @tdonn7 Wasn't gonna start until January but I've had an intense urge to watch this for the past week and I couldn't wait any longer Definitely overrated but still really good. Has a great distinctive vibe and the ending was incredible but I don't care about any of the characters and i

Vic to me is literally a mixture of Hank Schrader. The camera work stood out, constantly switching between handheld and steady cam.

Pretty good pilot Crazy ending had me shook Bro is raging about his ding dongs

“I’m a different kind of cop.” Great pilot episode Really liked the shaky and goofy camera work, the cast and of course, the Strike Team And Vic, give Dutch’s Ding Dongs back and meet with the family immediately 🙏

very good pilot, I already like Dutch a lot. this is already so interesting and the ending was really unexpected, i’ve heard a lot of great things about this show so im excited

The journey begins

I didn't think I would be starting this anytime soon, but whatever I have basically nothing else I can watch at the moment. A solid and engaging pilot to my surprise because I thought it would be pretty slow at first. The show kind of reminds me of the wire with the style of Dexter season 1 which se

8.9/10 THE SHIELD!!! Very excited to be starting this show Holy this cast is STACKED, I’m seeing a lot of SOA characters here. Very good pilot I’m already loving Vic. That ending was wild.

Great start to the show and I already like Vic’s character. I know the first 4 seasons won’t follow this quality, which is a pain in the ass but hopefully Vic, Shane etc makes up for it.

we are so back

It was okay
