Ridiculously good. I'll be skewered for this, but it's a better police drama than The Wire. Several moments where I literally stood up off the couch in shock - the wife too. If you are fond of antiheroes then Vic Mackey is about as good as it gets, second only to Tony Soprano IMO.I'm looking for a new series, and wonder if anyone has seen The Shield.

The Shield rocked. I was addicted when it was on.
I had never heard of the show until a couple days ago. I'm hooked.

What is perhaps most astonishing is that it's consistently excellent all the way through season 7 and in fact the series finale is considered among the best closing episodes ever. I concur with this assessment and found the finale entirely satisfying. Just a tremendous show, start to finish - among my top five (Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Deadwood, Shield, Game of Thrones).
Please don't hesitate to ask additional Q's - I'll be happy to provide context while avoiding spoilers as best I can.
If you'd like Deadwood in HD (720p) I have the full series and can likely transfer it to you via one of several cloud / dropbox or similar routes.Agreed. I am in the middle of the first season. You mention Deadwood - ill have to look into that one too.
I love being able to watch a series beginning to end. One of my pet peeves with many current shows is the eight to nine month wait for the next season to begin. I tend to lose interest.

Not really adding much to this thread besides the fact that I love Amazon Prime. Great $80 spent. I've almost already used that in saved shipping costs.
