Reviews for The Shield

As much as I pretty regularly come across art that blows me away or impacts me in some way, it’s far more rare for me at this point to experience something that truly pushes me as a viewer. Once you hear enough albums, watch enough shows, etc, it’s pretty hard to come across stuff that feels like it

From the second i was born i knew this was meant to be. My first words ever spoken were "YOU" while I was pointing🫵. Then I realised my destiny was to watch the shield 5x8 and now I have finally completed it. Peak episode last 10 minutes were so fucking insane. Highest peak in media, highest peak i

I love how the writers realised they had something special with Kavanaugh and they decided to COOK and utilise this character and make one of the best episodes of tv I’ve ever seen. The scene with Kavanaugh and his ex wife was so unbelievably good, masterclass in acting there. Forest Whitaker has

YOU 🫵🏾 top 1 of the show so far and also one of the best episodes ive ever seen. kavanaugh goes from a formidable foe to an actually dangerous antagonist in these 50 minutes through such a detailed character study. my reaction to THAT scene was one of shock and surprise. i never knew the context o

I got a fucking irrational fear of Forest Whitaker after this. Top 25-30 episode ever, incredibly consistent and Kavanaugh is such an amazing antagonist. Easily the best of the show so far and it’s not close.

Kavanaugh is losing it, and Vic is playing him like a damn fiddle. That interrogation room scene? Pure insanity--dude straight-up rants about his ex-wife imagining Vic in bed. Bro is cooked. Meanwhile, Lem is basically a dead man walking, and we all feel it. Tension is off the charts. Peak Shield.

I am finally complete. This is the absolute highest point of my life. This episode is flawless back to front and no episode in this show comes anywhere near it. This is the definition of peak tv and the point at the end was the greatest moment of the entire show. This might be a perfect season alrea

yeah this ep still holds up on rewatch. Kavanaugh is one of the best tv antagonists ever Top 4-5 Ep in the shield

I am stunned. Top 15 episode of all time, maybe higher. One of the most flawlessly written character episodes ever, the way this completely changes Kavanaugh is just insane. Forest Whitaker’s performance here is awe-inspiring and should have won him an Emmy. The decision to have this episode follo

F in the chat

5/5 without question, such a unique episode that was executed perfectly. Had this nerve racking element that made the entire episode feel so tense. Forest Whitaker is genuinely giving one of the best performances I’ve ever seen as Kavanaugh.

wow i have no words.. just so good, Forest Whitaker performance as Jon Kavanaugh this season n esp this ep is just so insanely good already one of my favourite characters ever. also best ep of the show so far

Holy shit Forest Whitaker top 5 acting performance in a Tv episode That ending was so good Wipes the rest of the show imo

If Kavanaugh got a fan then that's me, if he don't have no fans it means the strike team orchestrated my death. I have been singing Kavanaugh's praises to all and god to hear and now you telling me we got a full eppy with him as the protagonist (he already is the protagonist in my eyes), best episod

Incredible episode sooooo peak Last 10 mins were so intense, Kavanaugh is an amazing antag

The final 5 or so minutes are probably one of the highest peaks TV has reached, right? There's so many insane, complex dynamics between each character and very action and conversation is so meaningful, even with the smaller characters (the overall cops vs IAD mentality especially). Even the relatio

masterpiece ep an entire episode focused on kavanaugh is bound to be an absolute banger really love the intensity of this episode and how kavanaugh’s acting enhances it and the conflicts between strike team and kavanaugh is just so good 😭 lem saving kav from the grenade is such a subtle moment

kavanaugh is fucking crazy i’ve been waiting so long to get to this episode and it’s finally come all because vic and lem found his weak spot
