Dee4Life1893 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Couldn't see a thread for this. Never seen it but play are doing seasons 1-7 for £25. Worth buying? Without a doubt. The best TV series I have ever watched. It's just perfect. Saying that Breaking Bad might run it close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Couldn't see a thread for this. Never seen it but play are doing seasons 1-7 for £25. Worth buying? Probably my favourite TV show ever. The early seasons are good, and there is always something happening. But by the time you get to season five it becomes utterly chaotic and you can lose hours just watching episodes back to back. An absolute steal for £25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee4Life1893 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Can't believe this doesn't have more love. If you know the way to access international content on netflix the whole seven seasons are on Brazilian netflix. Get it watched people. Great series throughout and probably the finest finale ever made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars fan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The Shield is one of the best. Only the Sopranos, Oz and Breaking bad are on the same level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars fan Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I loved the wire too. I just can't watch it again though. It bores me now and I don't know why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's in my top 5 of all time. Absolutely love this. I was addicted after watching the first episode live on TV on a Tuesday night... Awesome show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodallegabombs Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's fantastic, I'd put it up there with the Sopranos in terms of how good it is. Better than the Wire and dare I say it.... Breaking Bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Anyone watched this? Was always put off as I'm not really into your typical 'Channel 5 cop TV series' but this is so much more than that. It wanes at times, but is brilliant. Really engrossing as each character is incredibly flawed. Currently working my way through season 5. Think the most shocking moment for me was Dutch boy strangling a cat to death because it was keeping him up at night. Claudette is a great character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseMan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Started watching this a couple of weeks ago and hI'm loving it, certainly a lot better than I expected. Been told in the past that it's just a shit version of The Wire. Not got round to watching The Wire yet but if that's true then it must be something fucking else. I'm just about to finish season 2 so not got round to the cat incident yet but that sounds like classic Dutch, you've got to love him. Also, gotta give props to Ronnie's tache. Only downside for me is anything to do with the gay black guy. Such a tedious character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more to it than I stated in my post which I won't spoil for you, but it makes it even more 'classic' Dutch! The boy that plays the 'gay black guy' is Michael Jace, is currently on trial in real life for the murder of his wife which I think he confessed to, turns out yesterday though, he's plead 'Not Guilty'. Feels a bit weird watching his scenes after knowing that. He's a bit of a dick in the later seasons too. Annoys me. On Season 5, and still think Ronnie is underused as a character! Barely gets more than 3 lines an episode! http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-actor-michael-jace-plea-20140815-story.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty79 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Amazing programme, rattled through all 7 seasons pretty quick as I had to know what was gonna happen next, IMO this was so much better than the wire, I did enjoy the wire just think this was a million times better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Love it. I watched it back when it started on normal TV, Tuesday nights at 11pm on Ch5 and before the halcyon days of TV downloading. It then stopped being shown from S3 I think and I had to order the seasons from the US on EBay and buy a multi Region DVD player to watch them, sad but had to be done. Probably the TV show that sparked my addiction to box sets and TV series. The end of Eps 1 S1 is probably one of the best most shock episodes ever. The performances of Walton Goggins, Meryl Streep, Forrest Whittaker and CCH Pounder over the various seasons was ground breaking. I have probably watched it through about 4 or 5 times. Genuinely an awesome and under watched Series. Vic Mackey a true Anti-Hero if there ever is one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
