Don't Miss "The Shield" Season 5 Finale Tonight!

Tonight's the season finale of the best show you've never watched (bet you never watched "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr" either - still not on DVD by the way!). We're talking about "The Shield" of course. If you thought NYPD Blue was intense, you can't imagine how intense "The Commish" with a shaved head can be. In fact, my wife won't watch the shield because she doesn't want to see "The Commish" killing people and stealing money. Yep, Michael Chiklis is a bad cop, or is he?

So even if you've never seen "The Shield" before, go ahead and watch the 90 minute finale tonight. It'll definitely be a roller coaster!

If you need to catch up, Wikipedia has a great overview of "The Shield":

The Shield is about an experimental police precinct set up in the fictional Farmington neighborhood ("the Farm") of Los Angeles, using a converted church ("the Barn") as their police station. Although Michael Chiklis has top billing with his portrayal of Detective Vic Mackey, the show has an ensemble cast that will normally run a number of separate story lines through each episode.
Detective Mackey is the leader of the Strike Team, a four-man anti-gang unit based on the LAPD's real-life Rampart Division CRASH unit. The Strike Team uses a variety of violent and extortive methods to maintain peace on the streets, while maintaining their own profits through drug protection schemes and robbery. Much like its inspiration, the Strike Team isn't above planting drugs on and coercing confessions out of gang members. Attempts to give the team a fifth member have frequently led to near-catastrophe for the group.
