Best Cop Show Ever?

Those of you not watching "The Shield" are missing out big style.

After a couple of potboiler episodes to start the new series off, last nights episode provided an explosion of violence and jaw-dropping drama.
While I'm sure the levels of violence in the show are going to draw some arguably justifiable criticism, it really is a masterclass in how to write and execute the kind of gripping character driven TV UK programme makers no longer seem capable of. It certainly beats the shit out of soft/hardcore pornathons like Big Brother any day of the week.
"Ohh, did Michelle and Stu have sex under that tableZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" etc.
