;DHello guys, I am a massive The Shield fan since season one started been aired here in UK. I found out about it by chance, just zapping in a boring Saturday night on open telly. It changed everything since then. I never saw anything so realist, down to earth being shown. I grewn up in Brazil, in a reality not that different as LA( concerning the social differences and corruption, imigration, drugs, gangs etc etc ). at this point the seria is going towards a no-way-out because basically for what have happened lattely. I think that I am luck enough in having buying the serie through the web and downloaded the fifth serie on P2P programm, as the producers are taking quite long time to move from one season to another, which is a shame.
I think that there is a hint aabout myself.
Catch u up later on.
Regards
Mack2

Wow, welcome mack2. Nice to see a fan from the UK. Interesting to hear that about Brazil. And you're right about the direction the show is going in.
Be sure and jump right in on any discussion.

Welcome mack2! I lived in Santos for a short time when I was really little... don't remember much, sadly. My dad was there for his job. How did you end up in the UK? I'm of British and Irish heritage, and really want to visit those places before my time is up.... Glad you've been able to see all the seasons of The Shield..... so you won't be shocked or spoiled by our discussions!

lol... I think we've decided that mentioning dowloading eps is inevitable, especially for our overseas Rappies who can't see the show any other way.... but please never never never never NEVER NEVER EVER post links to those sites or even mention the names of places where such activity may occur.
If I'm wrong, chem... please let me know.

I asked another new member the same question: Are you familiar with the Robbie Coltrane series Cracker? I like that show almost as much as The Shield. Anyway, not to stray from the subject: Welcome!

I do remember Robbie Coltrane from playing Hagrid in four consecutive Harry Potter movies! Love him!
