Wow, is this show awful!! Let the reader be forewarned: if you're looking for any visual interest in The Shield, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Same for realism.
You'd be much better off watching an episode of COPS, at least COPS showcases real police officers and its camera-work is a hundred times better that than of The Shield, which astonishes the viewers by its complete lack of any professionalism in its visual style.
What made FX think that this pale excuse for a TV show should be their standard bearer is beyond me.
For me, it made FX into the Badly Made Show network.
Is that really something to aspire to? In other words, stay away. You've got better things to do with your time. Like watching a reality show (and I hate reality shows!)
