The Shield (2002–2008)
2/10
Totally over-hyped, but fails to deliver. Any wonder audiences are so slim?
25 March 2005
With nausea-inducing camera work, The Shield has to be the most over-hyped show of recent memory.

FX keeps spending huge amounts of money to relaunch this show every year, and yet it fails to catch with the audience every year. The reason? The thing is unwatchable!! note to the producers: making a TV show look like a homevideo doesn't make it look "real", it makes it look like something most people don't want to watch.

It's too bad for the cast, which admittedly does a good job, but apart from a few award FX campaigns hard for every year, their work doesn't pay off in the important way, that is to be seen and appreciated by a big audience.

What a waste of a budget by FX!!
