Product Description

More than any previous season this 13-episode story arc is character-based and internally driven by clashing agendas. Sub-plots run the gamut of neighborhood killings and gang-banger conflict but as always The Shield also finds room for plenty of mordant wit and tension-relieving sarcasm. Like all previous Shield DVDs this four-disc set includes informative episode commentaries from the entire cast (including Close) engaged in revealing discussions of their creative process with creator Shawn Ryan and several primary writers and directors. Best of all the "Under the Skin" documentary is a way-above-average 60-minute survey of The Shield's day-to-day production offering plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and eloquent insight about the challenge of maintaining high-quality drama during a fast-paced guerilla production schedule. It's essential viewing for Shield fans and anyone considering a career in television.System Requirements:Running Time: 627 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396250413 Manufacturer No: 25041

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show, January 28, 2009

By	Daniel A. Cotter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Shield is a fantastic series, and this season was not disappointing. Bringing in Glenn Close as the Barn's captain was good - and how she is quickly swept out is great.
I did not start watching this show until recently, and have caught up on DVD. It is an outstanding show, with a lot of gray areas to contemplate.

5.0 out of 5 stars This SHOW Gets Better EVERY SEASON!, January 13, 2009

By	BOTH RULE "Why choose one?" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

What an AWESOME show. The returning cast is top notch, but you also get Glenn Close as well. If you've never seen the Shield before, you are lucky because you don't have to wait a week for the next episode. Start with SEASON ONE because each season builds on the previous one and gets better and better. Love the SHIELD!
