Critics Consensus

While some might find its violence excessive, The Shield's sixth season nevertheless delivers the kind of jaw-dropping action and meticulous mind games that make this cop drama so riveting.

Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel This crime drama moves quickly and energetically. The series turns up the showmanship, bringing back Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker as a guest star. The Shield jabs with superb acting and punches with raw, adult storytelling. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review LA Times Staff Los Angeles Times Right now there's nothing on "The Shield" that needs fixing. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Emily St. James Slant Magazine This pulp plotting and characterization means that everyone gets something interesting to do, but it also means that the fine points of emotion and psychology are sublimated in favor of shouting matches. Dec 4, 2018 Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant The super-shaky camera and worn-out theme music continue to grate, but the series itself is still very solid crime fare. Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Quentin B. Huff PopMatters I could almost accept Season Six as the end of the series. It wouldn't be neat and tidy, but it might be passable. Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky Some of this is powerful, alluring, even invigorating. Much of it, though, is a rerun through a knee-deep, leech-infested cesspool.

M B The best TV Series ever made, The Shield is amazingly gripping and entertaining. The adrenaline rush that will take over your life! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Audience Member Breathtaking! 10/10. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review S R Another great season that is almost like a calm before the season 7 storm. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Cody B The Shield is right up there with the likes of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Regina P this season is more an epilogue for season 5 and a prologue for season 7, also for the first time, one contrived turn of event in the last episodes, to prepare the season 7, is the reason why I give 4.5 instead of 5, but it's not a big deal and it doesn't outshine this great season Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Dave M Another excellent season. Never fails to entertain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/21 Full Review Read all reviews
