Fantastic Finale and Great conclusion: Season 7 is the best in the series in my opinion
25 October 2021
I been watching now for 2 months "The Shield" tv series and today I just finished complete Season 7. I really wish we would got another season, but that's how this show end it. I saw this show on TV the first Season back in 2004 when I was in high school I watched the first 4 episodes. But I couldn't continue watching the show because the re run was very late at night 1:00 am in the morning's on tv when school started in September when Episode 5 aired so I couldn't continue watching this show. That time they were filming Season 3. I have been watching now and I love this show to death!

My favorite Season is definitely Season 7. I know a lot of people go for Season 5 I actually go for Season 7, because the ending was fantastic. One of the few shows that never had a bad Season. The Shield is better to me than The Sopranos. Vic Mackey is better to me than Tony Soprano. The Shield is a kick-ass show. Michael Chiklis is a bad-ass actor with balls, that's how you do and end the show! He was a producer and he directed a few Episodes. The Shield is better cop show than Letal Weapon! I couldn't even finish third season because, it was so bad and the guy who played Riggs not (Mel Gibson) was a complete moron.

"Family Meeting" has a strong ending. Vic been in ICE, get's full Immunity and get's a desk job for 3 years. Corrine left Vic and took his children. Ronnie get's arrested and Shane killed him self, his wife and his own son. I read that creator of this show Shawn Ryan took that idea from WCW wrestler Chris Benoit "a family tragedy.". I had no idea that Michael Jace who played Officer Julien Lowe really murdered his wife in May 20, 2014 and started On June 10, 2016, his 40 year sentence since that year he is in prison. Really a tragedy.

My favorite character was always Vic Mackey, he wasn't a psychopath like described by others. I disagree in my point of view he was a good guy he did some bad stuff. He try to save Ronnie, Lem and even Corrine on the end, but it backfired. He is not a super hero he is a human bein. Michael Chiklis best performance as Vic Mackey ever!!!!!!!!!! He was in movies like Fantastic Four and 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. He also was in Gotham in few episodes. Season 2 also had Carl Weathers in this show. I love how this show respeact the actor. Carl Weathers is one of my favorite Actors I love him in Rocky 1 - 4, love him in Predator and his own TV Show: "Street Justice" which he played a cop in that show too. Michael Chiklis's own real daughter Autumn played Cassidy, Vic's older daughter. Cathy Cahlin Ryan played Corrine, Vic's wife she is Shawn's real wife.

Anyway fantastic Season, fantastic show unforgettable episodes including: "Parricide", "Party Line," and "Family Meeting." this episode. The reason why this season is to me my favorite Season, because it shows how Shane was taking care of his wife and his son, while they were on the run, that's how my dad take care of me and my mom when I was a kid.

My raking From The Shield all seasons goes: 1: Season 7, 2: Season 5, 3: Season 3, 4: Season 1, 5: Season 2, 6: Season 6 and 7: Season 4. Forest Whitaker as Lt. Jon Kavanaugh was a fantastic choise to cast him in as Internal Affairs cop in Season 5. That's one of the reasons Season 5 is consider by fans been the best season which I agree. Season 7 is not only strong, but this finale really made me in to my favorite season of all time.

My vote is 10 out of 10.
