When does The Shield start getting good? I gave it a break after 2 eps, watched all of The Wire, came back and just finished ep 3 and overall it's not doing much for me.

Just like you thought I was the losing type.Cool story, but trust me it wouldn't be how it plays out in your mind if we actually hooped. Not unless we run 5's and your on my team.I can't just chill w/ some water, tho?
I wish we could hoop so bad. It feels so good beating dudes who run their mouths about walkers and canes and prune juice and bingo night.
I mean, SO GOOD.
You'll see, someday. You'll see.
And everyone of them swears they won't get beat; SWEARS.
1 on 1 tho... You'd probably ban me from NT after.
And I didn't say you had to have a beer to
Enjoy it lol, i had water. I just thought you were a beer kinda guy lol
The last 5 minutes of The Shield is what the entire show is like. If you asked me this last year, I woulda said ehhh...but that's cuz I fell off halfway through season 5, when it was on TV. Season 5 will kick your ***, then season 7 will bury your body.
You don't watch The Shield. You survive The Shield. It's that brutal every episode. And you will be cracked out on it in no time.
There's no point in comparing it to The Wire, because one was trying to tell you something about society, with no real good guys or bad guys, just ****** circumstances, winners and losers. The Shield is trying to tell you something about Vic Mackey, and you will be shook during the last 2 episodes, I promise you. You will be in this thread in all caps spazzing the **** out.
And the last season is the greatest last season of any TV show I've seen, and that's plenty.
That's all. Up to you.
I aint even trying to compare it to The Wire. I had started The Shield first wasn't feeling it, figured I'd start and finish The Wire since it had less seasons. So I finish that resume The Shield and it has been a struggle just like it was before. Plus it feels weird how quickly these eps are flying by. I'm watching the 4th ep now. I mean 7 seasons to tell me something about Vic? These other characters are a bore right now. Almost every single one of them. Aint even any eye candy yet.It's a bad idea to watch anything real, except a comedy after you just finished The Wire. What's the point? Be like watching TDK right before you bought your ticket to Cap 2. You got something too good right at the front of your mind, to accept anything kinda like it, but maybe not as great.
I'll just leave this, though:

Finish it.
MoS is like the Nic cage of movies...no one can decide if its really good, or really bad, or really bad at being good, or really good at being bad...it's an enigma shrouded in a mystery.
Holy Based, yes please!!
When??!?! "Coming soon"?!?! WWWHHHEEENNN?!?!
let me read them scripts.
Prisoners was pretty dope. I enjoyed it
Nah, I'm gonna have to disagree cuz I essentially liked more characters on the show than I didn't.Zik I think you essentially hated most the characters in the wire which is the only reason u say it's not one of the undeniably best shows. U keep talking about snitch this and snitch that. Well.... There are a lot of snitches in the hood. That happens.
You not supposed to like Marlo he's a sociopath. No reason to like carcetti he was a do nothing, look out for himself politician like most of them are. you wanted the Greek to go down but that's rarely how it works.
