Curiosità:

FX originally balked at the hiring of Walton Goggins as a regular cast member. In order to convince the network executives to hire him, the episodes "Our Gang" and "The Spread" were specifically rewritten in order to showcase Walt's acting abilities in hopes of him being hired as a full-time cast member. These episodes convinced FX to give the go-ahead to hire him as a full-time cast member though because of the delays in finalizing his contract, the Shane character was written out of three episodes with the Vic Mackey character partnered up with fellow cast member Kenny Johnson ("Dawg Days" and "Throwaway") or assisting Detectives Wyms and Wagenbach on case ("Cherrypoppers").

Citazioni:

Antwon Mitchell: From now on, when I say, "Suck my dick", you say, "You want me to lick your balls, Daddy?"

Audiences Rejected This Bad Show a Long Time Ago

It's amazing how long some shows can endure if they are the recipient of huge amounts of hype and PR.

The Shield is a really bad show that has fizzled in the ratings a long time ago.

Its well-documented awful camera-work and its overall bad film-making have sent audiences screaming for the exit (sorry, grasping frantically for the remote!) To its credit, they have kept luring great actors to come in and do guest spots, but it's more a reflection of how little work there is today in Hollywood than about the quality of the show, which is abysmal.

FX has kept hyping this dead show for years and maybe in Hollywood they believe that it's a great show, but audiences everywhere know better.

They've stayed away from The Shield because of how bad it is.

It's that simple.
