2008 Best Tv Show

The Shield-Season 7



Many good tv shows ended in 2008:The Wire,The Shield,Boston Legal and other shows.There were many possible nominations for best tv show of the year,but without a doubt,The Shield with its seventh and final season,was the clear winner.The journey of Vic Mackey finally ended,but not without consequences,for everyone involved,in one of the darkest seasons of the show,a show known for being raw and gritty.A common theme in this season was that the past comes back to haunt us,that nothing is forgotten,that unresolved issues come back,asking for a resolution.It's clearly the end of an era.Loose ends were resolved and nothing in the lives of the characters,in the Barn,in Farmington was the same.It was a season with one best series finales.It was one the best (along with the first),if not the best season of the Shield.It also was a season,where Vic Mackey showed his true colours.The question is,was he punished or did he get away with what he had done ? Many argue that the situation in which he was when the finale ended,was a form of punishment,although i might disagree with that opinion.I guess we will never know.
