Morally Ambiguous Cop

Last night I watched nearly two hours of Channel Five’s new cop show, The Shield. I enjoy television drama when it’s done well and I think Five (as they are now called) could do very well out of this one:

The Shield stars Emmy Award ‘Best Actor’ winner Michael Chiklis as Detective Vic Mackey. Mackey leads a corrupt, but highly effective, Strike Team in the fictitious L.A. precinct of Farmington. Michael’s portrayal of the morally ambiguous cop challenges the viewer: do his ends justify the means? [Channel Five]

I would write more, but that really sums it up.

On this day…
