The Shield Aired From March 12, 2002 - November 25, 2008 On FX.

the plot:

The Shield breaks the conventional formula of the cop genre. It plays out in a tough, morally ambiguous world in which the line between good and bad is crossed every day. The series focuses on the tension between a group of corrupt but effective cops and a captain torn between bringing them down and advancing his own political ambitions. The Shield stars Michael Chiklis as rogue cop "Det. Vic Mackey," leader of the elite Strike Team unit, who is effective at eliminating crime but who operates under his own set of rules. Benito Martinez plays "Captain David Aceveda," the young precinct head who doesn't like Mackey's tactics and wants to bust him off the force. And the Emmy-nominated CCH Pounder, plays "Det. Claudette Wyms," a veteran detective who understands Mackey and knows how to play both sides of the fence.

the main cast:

Michael Chiklis	Detective Vic Mackey
Walton Goggins	Detective Shane Vendrell
Michael Jace	Officer Julien Lowe
Jay Karnes	Detective Holland 'Dutch' Wagenbach
Benito Martinez	Captain David Aceveda
Catherine Dent	Officer Danielle 'Danny' Sofer
CCH Pounder	Detective Claudette Wyms
Kenny Johnson	Detective Curtis 'Lemonhead' Lemansky

why should I bother with this show?
The Shield has made many breakthroughs in its run on FX. These include being the first ad-supported cable series to win the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series in 2003 and being the longest running series on FX Network (1). Another award won by this critically acclaimed series is an Emmy for Michael Chiklis who was the most Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2002 (2).
