axelpuri-1

I know im late to the party but i just wanted to add my two cents. I have seen a lot of shows in my life from the Wire , breaking bad , sons of anarchy , downtown abbey to GOT and everything in between ( of-course not but definitely all the ones worth watching ) but The Shield has a special place in my heart. First it saw me through the corona virus lockdown and had me baited hook line and sinker like i have never been . I almost cried when it ended because i didn't want it to but also had me enthralled to the point that i couldn't wait to see what the next episode would bring .

I think i cannot offer any compliments and praises that haven't been offered already . All i will say is it is like The Wire in treatment but with its own unique flavour. The writing is crisp , the hand held shooting gritty with each character addng a different dimension to the storyline. Each season brought with it a different commentary on all kinds of issues be it politics , family life, friendship, duty in the line of fire etc

Give it a go and be prepared for one heck of a ride

Just like life this movie isn't perfect .. it has its minor flaws but has valuable lessons that we can take away.. some friendships last a lifetime .. your first love is always a powerful moving force and a quote from the movie itself . the 3 most important things in life are being born , fallen in love and death and everything else is a reaction to that. Shahid is brilliant and deserves the national award! haven't seen a better bolly movie in the last 3 / 4 years ( the rajkumar hirani ones) 10 /10
