Not that award shows are particularly important or anything but the Golden Globe nominations came out yesterday and I just want to say that the exclusion of The Shield is ridiculous. (Apparently equally ridiculous is the exclusion of The Wire, but I haven't watched it yet as I am waiting to see it from the beginning.)
In the words of Chicago Tribune TV critic Maureen Ryan:
Season 5 of “The Shield” will go down in history as one of the best seasons of television ever. Riveting doesn’t begin to describe the performances by Forest Whitaker, Michael Chiklis, Walton Goggins and Kenneth Johnson. As an internal-affairs cop obsessed with bringing down rogue cop Vic Mackey and his crew, Whitaker was on fire, and “The Shield” cast gave as good as it got. And the Shakespearean finale of the season was as tragic as filmed drama gets.
Really watch it. (Though do start from the first season if you can)
