The Shield - The Complete Fifth Season

I really like this show. It is well written. I like all the seasons tie in together. The acting is great. The 5th season is great. The storyline is awesome, the action and drama are intense, and the conflict between Mackey & Kavanaugh is explosive. I definitely recommend this season as well as the rest.

The fifth season of "The Shield" is on par with the previous four, which means instant greatness. Forest Whitaker brings some added acting muscle as the Internal Affairs agent out to get Vic and the rest of the Strike Team. This is essential viewing.

This was an incredible season of a show that just gets better and better every year.

However please be warned that this is not in widescreen as specified. I have no idea why the US DVDs are continually released in P&S, so I recommend going to Amazon UK where these are released in full widescreen aspect ratio.

When I recieved this package, I was a little nervous as to how it would play on my machine. I have a region 2 machine and The Sheild 5th Season I bought is on region 1. Naturally, the DVD did NOT play on my machine (although some region 1 DVDs HAVE). Thus, I have been watching this series on computer screens!! Why we cannot get ALL the info from this package on the English version is a mystery to me. Why is one episode cut shorter on the English version than the American edition? Why are there not more complants put to the company responsible about this? There NEEDS to be a solid explanation! Needless to say, this is a fantastic show that keeps the rawness of the past episodes. The commentries and tributes are good too. It always seems to me that Vic cannot be on the straight and narrow, even if he tries to. Something from his previous form will always come back to haunt him.
Great show, but will the company involved STOP SHORT-CHANGING the fans in the UK. Give us ALL the information please.

Damn fine television. Not appropriate for young ones obviously. They have done a great job painting in shades of grey for this entire series.
