5.0 out of 5 stars Wow., February 7, 2009

This review is from: The Shield: Season Five (DVD)

Since this has been out for a while, and if you're researching season 5, hopefully you've already seen the 4 before it, I'll make it short.

I've seen every episode of The Shield, and the finale of this season is one of the best episodes of TV - of ANY show - that I've ever seen.

I think it's the second best season (second only to season 1) that this show has ever had.

If you're a fan of the show, what are you waiting for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware Commentary Spoilers, October 17, 2011

By

This review is from: The Shield: Season Five (DVD)

This was one of the very best shows ever on TV. Great writing, acting and directing. While the Commentaries are interesting for fans of the show, you should watch all of the episodes first (and the deleted scenes) and then go back and watch the Commentaries for the episodes and the Delivering the Baby Featurete. There are major spoilers of later episodes in the earlier Commentaries of this Fifth Season in particular. There were some in Season 4 as well, and also Season 6, but not as bad as this Season. If you did not see the show on TV and are watching it for the first time of DVD, and you are going to watch the Commentaries, you will want to do it this way to enjoy the full effect of this Season. The Delivering the Baby Featurete appears on an early Disc and likewise gives away the major turn of events in a later episode. It should have at least been put on the end of the disc where the episode actually appeared, so you would logically watch it after the episode in question. This series held up very well upon re-viewing, with me having forgotten many of the elaborate details of the stories. Other than that one complaint, everything else about these Discs was excellent. Very clear, widescreen transfer and no annoying FX logo on the screen!
