Hibernation's not normally something undertaken by human beings. But I did it goddamnit. Me and my Shield DVDs. Together. Romantic stuff. I'm not going to wax lyrical about The Shield because it started like 8/9 years ago and was going for the better part of the 2000s so everyone's already raved about it more than enough, but I will say that the praise is completely warranted.
The show isn't a slow burner like I've found The Wire to be (gotta get through those box sets at some point too), it's full of action and is completely gripping. I do like how even just in season two I'm completely and utterly confused over which characters to like and dislike. Some of them are obvious - Aceveda's a bit of a dickhead, Danny's generally alright - but the rest of them are somewhere in the middle. Dutch is obviously the man though. A complete and utter dweeb. Fuckin' funny, though.
I dare any of you to watch this and tell me that Vic Mackey is not the man, albeit a fictional one.
