Michael ChiklisThe Shield: Complete Series [DVD]
L**S
Awesome series, horrid packaging.
I am rating the Series not the Packaging:Starring : Michael Chiklis. Glenn Close, Catherine Dent, Reed Diamond, Paula Garces, Walton Goggins, Michael Jace, Kenneth Johnson, Jay Karnes, David Marciano, Benito Martinez, Cathy Cahlin Ryan, David Rees Snell, CCH PounderMany of the actors and actresses are my personal favorite. There are those that fully stand out as being flawless in their performances. That is what makes this series all the more powerful, is the top quality and brilliance by all those involved. Each persona captured their roles in breathtaking characterizations. The tight direction and flawless script writing created a reality that not only entertains, shocks, but also makes the viewer impressed and awe struck, at how amazing this series was created, structured and executed. The final result as a completion is powerful TV, powerful entertainment, powerful award worthy, award winning Grade A accomplishment.As I have stated it is the strong acting by all that captures and creates this flawless series. One of those performers that stand out is Michael Jace. A wonderful character that captured a perfection in his role as Police Officer Julian Lowe. I think another reality that stands out to his ability as an actor is his career is at a standstill, because of personal reasons. There was breaking news that happened in real life in May 2014, Jace had shot and killed his wife in real life. He contacted the police and stated “I shot my wife.” He was arrested and charged with murder, just shocking. It’s so odd watching this show again realizing the true nature of what happens to him in real life. He was such a gifted actor and it’s a true shame that the real life reality happened the way it did.All the performers stand out. Even with the later added power house characters, such as the amazing Forrest and the one of a kind Glenn Close.From the wins of Golden Globes, to Primetime Emmy Awards, to Satellite Awards, AFI Awards, Peabody Awards, ALMA Awards, this show won many, and was nominated by many. It deserved every award it won. Michael Chiklis took home the 2003 Golden Globe, and deserved it greatly. His character, persona through is performance was something that left a lasting impression upon me, and anyone who views this show, knows that reality.Another is CCH Pounder. Pounder has always been a breathtaking actress that left me in awe, with her role in The Shield. Her character Claudette Wyms is one of those characters that make you remember.Shawn Ryan created one of the greatest Crime Drama’s to ever grace the Television World. It was a series like watching one complete start and finish of one group of people, or simply put, one long film with twists, turns, and total shock appeal. Ryan created a one of kind series, that many copied from. The Shield was a breathtaking experience that few shows can grasp. The Shield was perfection.

One of the best shows ever ALL under one roof
On the set:This entire set like this is one of the best deals you will ever find. You could go out and try to get each and every season on its own, and piecing them together MIGHT get you a deal like this. Still, if you missed out and you want to wathc it then you are going to really want to see it all. Itt is an addictive show and it has things in it that HAVE to be followed up. If you miss a piece you miss a lot, so having all the seasons here is a great opprotunity. Beyond that, you get a few little things here that you might not find on your hunt - nothing I thought was major but things you might like and can see listed in a product layout.It would make the best gift to someone, yourself included.On the show:What do you get when you put a cop on the street, give him the keys to the kingdom, protect him with a badge, and then show him exactly what can and cannot get done? You get one of the best series to ever grace the screen. From the roots of the series and the rocky start of our very nefarious cop to the end of everything and the way the dominoes fall is beautiful. I honestly had no idea what would happen. You get to knwo these people,a ll of them, and you get to know everyone else in the unit to. you see "The Barn" for what it is; a group of personalities that have their own lives and their own problems and their own ways of doing things. some of them are simply people trying to get by while others - well, they are walking slopes that really seem dangerous. All the while you keep wondering when things will cave in and who will do the honors and, well, it keeps you engaged until the end.I haven't loved a show like this in a long, long time.When it came to The Shield, it was hard to fault the show. It started with a bang and it ended with a bang, and this was not one of those things that got cancelled along the way,. It CHOSe to go off on top and that was a great thing. Otherwise it might have lingered and the people on the top didn't want that. What they did want was for the show to spin a web aroudn the watchers that would captivate them and it did that and more. From the streets and the way things were handled to the thngs going on behind closed doors, this series had it all. all the people were here, all of them were somewha flawed, and all of them were interesting. I remember watching one of the detectives, Dutch, and I kept wondering if he was going to slide into madness when a specific event involving a cat happened to him. It made me think and question and watch everything again just to see clues relating to that person. And the whole thing is like that.As far as acting, you have the best fromt he top to the bottom. Simply look over the cast and you see a list of talent a proverbial mile long. It really is amazing to note how good the going got, too, because having that many names in a show on TV is not the regular thing you see. Still, The Shield had it.If you want a season by season break down, there are those on the product pages. Getting this gets it all, however, and it does so at a cost that you really would like. Had I not gotten it a while back I would have jumped here, and I have known two people that have picked this up already and can say with certainty that it is high quality and nice. You know what you want and know why you want it so you have to make the call. Stil, if you are wonnering, it is WELL worth it.

Geniale Serie
Genau das richtige für Serienfans. Spannend und interessant, hat das was den heutigen Serien teilweise fehlt. Meiner Meinung! Hier ist nichts weichgespült, schaue lieber ältere Serien statt die neuen.

Perfetto e giunto con largo anticipo
Mio figlio è stato molto felice di questo cofanetto che peraltro è arrivato ben 11 giorni prima rispetto alla data prevista. C’è anche l’italiano tra le lingue audioNon seguo questa serie ma mio figlio ci teneva proprioConfezione compatta, integra così come i singoli dvd 📀Venditore molto cordiale e preciso ma anche se risulta come “momox Italia” è preferibile scrivere in inglese perché ho notato che chi risponde ha difficoltà a comprendere l’italianoHo contattato il servizio clienti Amazon per comunicare che il cofanetto era giunto moltoprima della data prevista e chiedere se potevano aggiornare l’avvenuta consegna poiché io non riuscivo a farlo in quanto risultava ancora in viaggio.Volevo anche ringraziare il venditore. Ma mi hanno spiegato che se il corriere non aggiornava il tracking io non potevo fare nulla poiché si trattava di un venditore terzo ed era il corriere a tracciare la consegna.Rapporto qualità prezzo ottima Percio’ la mia esperienza con questo venditore e questo cofanetto è assolutamente positiva5 meritatissime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bonne série
La série est géniale mais le coffret un peu moins. 2 piles de dvd entassés et malheureusement une fois sur deux quand je l'ouvre les dvd ont bougé et sortent de leur emplacement.

Por fin en Blu-ray. Una reedición a la altura de esta gran serie.
Se me hizo muy cara, llevaba esperando la remasterización más de 4 años y la retrasaban y ahora veo por qué. No solo fue un transfer de 16mm a digital. Tiene nueva corrección de color, nuevos reencuadres para que se vea por fin en 16:9 y no con las barritas verticales negras. Tiene muy buen material adicional y comentarios. La caja es perfecta y bonita además. Vale cada centavo. La serie: obvio que es la mejor serie en la historia.
