Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
Continuing directly after season 5, Vic and the Strike Team are distraught over Lem's death. Shane has been overcome by guilt and becomes reckless and suicidal. Kavanaugh refuses to let the case die and resorts to planting evidence and coercing witnesses to lie about the Strike Team. Dutch and Claudette begin to suspect his integrity. Vic learns from Claudette that the Chief plans to force him into early retirement — and vows to wreak bloody vengeance on Lem's killer before losing his badge. Claudette learns that the Barn could be shut down if no improvements are made by the time quarterly crime statistics are released.

"Are you ready for this?" quintessential cop on the edge Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) asks his longtime nemesis, Councilman David Aceveda (Benito Martinez) in the season finale. With more than a year between seasons, we're always ready for The Shield, which rivals The Wire not only in quality (not everyone is ready to play at this level, as Mackey states at one point) but also in the lack of appreciation for one of television's very best shows. Again, another great season, and another Emmy snub. There ought to be a law. There is much more to The Shield than its shocking and brutal violence and language. This penultimate season, which turns the heat on Mackey, a one-man good cop/bad cop, to boil, is "all kinds of personal" for its intimately observed characters. Mackey is obsessed with finding out who killed Strike Force member Lem, while Kavanaugh (Forest Whitaker), just as obsessed with taking Mackey down, recklessly crosses the line to "frame a guilty man." Meanwhile, Mackey keeps moving the line as he relentlessly pursues the drug kingpin he has judged responsible for Lem's death, going so far as to stage a faux kidnapping of his suspect's girlfriend. In one of the season's most excruciating scenes, he turns chain-wielding executioner. What viewers know, but Mackey initially does not, is that the killer is a guilt-ridden Shane (Walton Goggins), Mackey's best friend. Shane, ultimately exiled from the Strike Force, becomes embroiled in an ill-fated association with the daughter of Armenian mob boss, putting Mackey's family in peril. Back at the Barn, newly promoted Claudette Wyms (CCH Pounder) is under intense pressure as the precinct's body count mounts. Her former partner, Dutch (Jay Karnes) develops a crush on Tina (Paula Garces), the pretty new cop he is mentoring. She has a one-night stand with hotshot Kevin Hiatt (Alex O'Loughlin), the new guy whom Wyms fears may learn too much from Mackey or not enough. The tension builds inexorably to a season finale that fulfills all expectations, in which the resourceful Mackey, facing a review board hearing, must scramble to save his badge, resulting in a surprising alliance that bodes well for the final season. "Trust me," he states at one point, "There's a way out. There always is." From first episode to last, The Shield's sixth season is gripping, gut-wrenching stuff. To quote Shane: "Put another one in the win column." --Donald Liebenson

Content: I personally love this show and a big time fan of M Chiklis. Another great season and many breath-taking moments. I was little annoyed with the character which was played by Forest Whittaker but MC took care of him as he always does!
I cant wait to see what will happen between MC and Shane!
Very much looking forward to the final season of the show.
Summary: Sad to see its final season coming :(

Content: I PURCHASED ALMOST NEW EDITIONS OF THE SHIELD SEASONS 2, 4 AND 6. THEY WERE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO BE BRAIN DEAD TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THESE VIDEOS. THEY WERE MAILED EVERYONE VERY PROMPT. THEY ARRIVED IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING. AND BEST OF ALL I PAID HALF PRICE.

Content: I have watched most of season 6 and find it just as entertaining as the other 5 seasons. I recommend it.
Summary: As good as ever

Content: Season VI is every bit the action, excitement, drama......as seasons I-V. We watched it until 4am without realizing how much time had passed (we are normally early birds!!) We do not have the patience for the week to week suspense and enjoy watching the whole season, commercial free. Anticipating season VII on DVD.....unfortunately this will be the final season :-(
