The Shield (PC) ... tough, street-savvy leader of the Elite Strike Team, a special police unit located deep within the crime-riddled trenches of Los Angeles.

(Also appears at Freeola.com, and my University newspaper: The Rabbit) Shawn Ryan's brainchild police serial "The Shield" is undoubtedly one of the grittiest and unflinchingly brutal television shows in recent history, viciously chronicling police corruption in California. Despite rarely being recognised at the Emmys, it's received heaps of critical acclaim for straying from the pack in terms of cop shows, delivering a truly unique and original programme to viewers each week.
