Started and finished this over the last three weeks. Excellent series, but not one of the greats. Felt like certain characters could have served bigger subplots to Vic and his team, such as Dutch and killing the cat. While other characters seemed to come and then just disappear without any real explanation or conclusion. The likes of Tavon, Rawlings and the female lawyer in season 5 kind of just disappeared without any real follow up.

Characters likely disappeared because the actors were poached for other shows.

They did follow up with Tavon and he realised in the end that Shane's wife hit him.
 
Re -watching it now.

The co pilot half way though season 2 is strange AF.

I noticed.

The guy who plays julian is in jail for killing his wife.

Vics wife is the real wife of Shawn Ryan the co writer of the show.

Literally we are at the same stage of rewatching it.

They are about to go for the Money Train.


I presume you probably know that Vic's daughter on the show is his real life daughter?

Yep.

Vics own daughter.

He offered her to a pedo in Ep one.


Money train toot toot.

Money train toot toot.

Yes he did and was then upset that the pedo didnt want her. Dark humour there.

The show while not timeless, hasnt IMO dated badly.

Glory be, Im glad you posted some trivia. Had me curious. Not sure how true or accurate this.


‘The Shield’ Reunion 2021 — Is It Happening?

The kid that "Dutch" said would end up as a killer, played a "killer" in the 2020 series Interrogation.

Ive enjoyed seeing "Tulips" again. Damn.

If I was a cop, I would be like a combination of Vic and Shane, with all the screwups and then some of Shane magnified lol.

Season 2 done.

Money train robbed .

On to S3 soon enough.

Billings must join the show soon.

New police captain next season.monica.

New villain in Mitchell .

Toot .Toot

About an episode behind you.

S3 is going to be entertaining. Marks the beginning of the end of Vic and Shane too.

I thought Billings comes later when Claudette becomes Captain.

Billings is in about 40 eps maybe another season away.

Billings is abit of a knob tho.

Almost got away with suing the Department for millions. Would have been a handy retirement bonus.:think:

Back in 00's lawsuits must have been damn easy to win. :drunk:
 
First time around I couldn't figure out how Billings was appointed captain. Rewatching the Claudette-and-Dutch vs. dodgy DA thread I realised that they solved a bunch of cases but had to let Billings get the credit so that the DA's office wouldn't know it was them. So Billings looked much better to the higher-ups when they were looking around for a captain.

From memory he was also the most experienced.

Was the perfect appointment in terms of storytelling and a completely different leader to what they had previously.

Very much a hands off ( I literally dont know anything) approach.
