The Shield

ÖZET

The Shield breaks the conventional formula of the cop genre. It plays out in a tough, morally ambiguous world in which the line between good and bad is crossed ever day. The series focuses on the tension between a group of corrupt but effective cops and a captain torn between bringing them down and advancing his own political ambitions. Det. Vic Macke, who is effective at eliminating crime, is the leader of the elite Strike Team unit, but he operates under his own set of rules.
