The last episode of 'The Shield' is Tuesday night
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.20.2008
Those of us who are addicted to "The Shield" had an inkling that the final season would be electrifying, and indeed the tension has ratcheted up, episode by episode, to an almost unbearable level.
Set in a teeming world of cops, criminals and criminal cops, Shawn Ryan's FX series is not just another police procedural.
Unlike shows such as "CSI," "Cold Case" and "Without a Trace," which cling to their neat formulas with a vengeance, "The Shield" is full of complicated, unpredictable people and situations.
And now, after seven seasons, the final episode is upon us. We'll learn the fate of the ethically challenged Det. Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis), below, a man desperate to save his family from the violence he's dished out — sometimes for the greater good, more often not.
A major character will reportedly die. But killing Vic would be too easy. Hmmm.
Find out at 11 p.m. Tuesday.
