Cort (of Cinema Psyops) joins in the fun that is tackling the now-hard-to-watch, demented and still groundbreaking action-crime-mystery drama that is The Shield. We discuss how so many of the themes of corruption are true to today's messed-up real world, especially the ICE Agent storyline in the final season(!). How did this end up being the next level of dirty cops and blue line morality dilemma after Serpico, Training Day and NYPD Blue had already conquered this crime subgenre so well? Is it still easily the best edgy show that FX Network has ever done to date?? And what are our personal favorite disturbing moments in this headache-inducing yet altogether brilliantly gripping clusterfuck???
