The Shield

The law is just a suggestion.

Created by Shawn Ryan

On FX

A morally corrosive police drama that spends seven seasons inside a unit of corrupt detectives, treating institutional decay and self-destruction as inevitable consequences of compromised power.

The story of an inner-city Los Angeles police precinct where some of the cops aren't above breaking the rules or working against their associates to both keep the streets safe and their self-interests intact.
