The Shield is an American crime drama television series starring Michael Chiklis that premiered on March 12, 2002, on FX in the United States, and concluded on November 25, 2008, after seven seasons. Known for its portrayal of corrupt police officers, it was originally advertised as Rampart in reference to the true-life Rampart Division police scandal, on which the show's Strike Team was loosely based. The series was created by Shawn Ryan and The Barn Productions for Fox Television Studios and Sony Pictures Television.

Best pilot ever and wonderful tv show in general

Just bought the whole collection on bluray and doing my first rewatch.

Totally forgot how great this show is.

Walton is so underrated.

Really launched FX as a legit network too

Good timing as I l just downloaded the first season. I've watched this show before, although it's been a while since I've watched it.

It's a shame that more people haven't seen this show, whenever I bring it up, people haven't heard of it..

my dad loved this show
maybe after I finish the sopranos and justified Ill hit this up

Is justified good? I appreciated walton acting here

rawest cop show
