I haven't watched this show since it last aired in 2008, so it's almost like a brand new show to me. I forgot how good it is. Vic Mackey is the ultimate antihero.

I just finished season 2. There are definitely some plot holes and story lines at Fall flat, but overall it's one of my favorite shows and if you haven't seen it you need to watch it on Hulu.

Also, I nominate Vic's wife for ultimate TV wife count award. I forgot how hateabke she is. I would even put her ahead of Skyler White.

Vic’s wife wasn’t helped by major Resting Mourner Face BUT in her defense, she was married to Vic who was a terrible husband. She was also stuck with two autistic kids and a sullen tween (played by Chiklis’s real life daughter).

I HATED Shane when I first watched it but now love Walton Goggins so much he’d probably be my fave.

One of the all time greats.

The Walton Goggins / Anthony Anderson scene in the interrogation room….don’t know how that aired on cable.

Glenn Close was surprisingly good in it too.

When would yall say it hits its stride?

Watching it for the first time. First couple eps are pretty outlandish. It’s like they just made an “edgy” law and order.


The pilot might be one of the worst of the “prestige era.” Everyone is a cartoon character

I always felt The Shield is a better rewatch than The Wire. The pacing is so much better. Sometimes the story lines got carried away a little too much but it was definitely engaging. i'm probably due for a rewatch. It's been about 7 years.

CCH Pounder lives in New Orleans now. I have seen her around a few times, most recently a few weeks ago at the Michaels on Claiborne buying yard.
