The few that I gave a chance seemed to be lacking. Everyone's head was in season 6 and they didn't have much to say about season 5. Shawn Ryan even joked about how all the actors in one of the commentaries just talked about how great he's been for their careers. So, which are the best DVD commentaries?

There are nuggets of info and tiny S6 spoilers in most all of them....

There isn't much specific insight towards season 5 as a whole in any of them really. They either talk in general terms about writing or acting technique, or just goof off for most of the time. They're still good listens though, but there's probably more actual season 5 insight on the documentary on disc 4 than in all of the commentaries put together.

One line that I get tired of hearing in the commentaries is "not to be self congratulatory" (or something to that effect) as they then proceed to state how great something is. Granted, the Shield is my favorite television drama of all time, but as you reach to pat yourself on the back, don't tell us that you don't mean to. But overall I really enjoy the commentaries where the strike team is on.

The first one was great (I love Kurt Sutter!)! The last one is very informative; SR, KJ, and WG talk about all 5 seasons... they didn't want to just discuss Postpartum since there is a rather in-depth documentary (titled, "Delivering the Baby") about that in the extras. Catherine Dent does a great job of keeping the conversation going... she does 2 or 3 of them. Paula Garces lets spoilers from S6 loose; so does Mrs. Ryan!! SR and Jay Karnes could have their own show where they take jabs at each other all day long....
I enjoyed listening to them all.

I alwayslook for the Kurt Sutter ones first. But I did find some season 6 hints in the next one I listened to.

Any with CCH and Jay? I remember the one they did on Season 3 together (at least I think they were together) was the most insightful Shield commentary I've heard from a character perspective - which is what I really care about.

i must comment on this because i just lastnight finally got around to listening to the commentaries of season five. they made me laugh til i cried. the ones with the strike team are pretty funny, but the one with kenny johnson, cch pounder, benito martinez, michael jace, anthony anderson and gweneth horton, was the best one i heard. it was so funny and seemed the least self serving or like real conversation. i think it was the episode of mice and lem. that was the one that made me laugh so hard i had tears streaming down my face. it also caught me at a time when i hadnt slept in two days so just about everything was funny to me. there was a few that actually bored me, but overall, they were good
