About the series
The Shield is about an experimental division (Similar to
CRASH unit) of the Los Angeles Police Department set up in
the fictional Farmington district ("the Farm") of
Los Angeles, using a converted church ("the Barn")
as their police station, and featuring a group of detectives
called "The Strike Team", who will do anything to
bring justice to the streets. Michael Chiklis has top billing
with his portrayal of Strike Team leader Vic Mackey. The show
has an ensemble cast that will normally run a number of separate
story lines through each episode.
Detective Vic Mackey is the leader of the Strike Team, a
four-man anti-gang unit based on the LAPD's real-life Rampart
Division CRASH unit (Rampart was seriously considered as the
series name). The Strike Team uses a variety of illegal and
unethical methods to maintain peace on the streets, while
making a profit through illegal drug protection schemes and
robbery. The Strike Team isn't above planting drugs on and
coercing confessions out of gang members. Attempts to give
the team a fifth member have frequently led to near-catastrophe
for the group.
The Shield has a variety of subplots, notably David Aceveda's
political aspirations and internal confrontation of a previous
sexual assault; Vic Mackey's struggle to cope with a failing
marriage; and Julien Lowe's internal conflicts between his
belief in the teachings of the Bible and his homosexuality.
Common themes are the citizens' distrust of police, the social
impact of drugs and gang warfare, and the conflict between
ethics and political expediency. Most characters are portrayed
as having both vice and virtue. For example, Vic's loving
relationship with his children contrasts with his thuggish
attitude towards police work; in addition, his brutality is
generally directed at those who seem well deserving of such
treatment — in Season 2, the Strike Team targets the
"Armenian Money Train", a money laundering operation
of the Armenian organized crime syndicate. Another episode
had Mackey cornering a serial rapist, then letting him be
attacked by a police dog before calling the dog off.
The Shield has won critical praise for its realism, particularly
in its portrayal of gang violence in Los Angeles. Although
names of actual gangs are not used, the portrayals are based
on real gangs. Latino gangs with names such as "Los Magnificos"
(or "Los Mags") and the "Toros" are a
constant thorn in the Strike Team's side in the early seasons
of the show, whilst African American gangs become more prominent
in later episodes. In particular, a gang calling themselves
the "One-Niners" are central to the plot of Season
4. Like the notorious real-life Blood and Crip gangs, the
One-Niners identify themselves strongly with one color (in
this case purple), wearing it on various forms of clothing.
There are also a number of stories set in Korean neighborhoods,
as well as plots involving Armenian gangsters. To enhance
its realism, the show makes very little use of background
music.
There is some controversy around the show's depiction of
police corruption. The Strike Team's illegal activities are
often backed up with convincing rationalizations by its members,
while various police and government authorities who try to
bring them to justice or otherwise criticize them are often
portrayed negatively. Some argue that this technique presents
the reality of police corruption and brutality and attempts
to explain it intelligently without demonizing it. Others
argue that the show is essentially a defense of police corruption
and brutality, portraying effective police work as impossible
without such tactics and presenting Vic Mackey in particular
as a hero despite his extensive corruption.
