What is "The Shield" about and what makes it so great?

I keep hearing about that show on this board and have asked repeatedly if somebody could give me the gist of what it's about and what makes it such a great show (to no avail). Can somebody please give me a synopsis and explain why the show pwns? thanks.
 
In a nutshell.... this is a show that people love because it's about kicking the a$$ of the bad guys. The cop has no problems letting his anger through.
 


My synopsis? It is basically about a unit of rogue cops that do anything and everything. They are basically dirty cops that do more good than harm, most of the time.

It is so good in my opinion because it is something is rarely done on tv. The bad cops thing has been done in movies and that is about it. and because it is so 'raw' and pushes the limits of what you can show and say on cable tv.

Just my $.02

I don't know if I would say "bad cops"... They do break the law by beating people... That's not such a bad thing in most cases.

stealing money from busts?

I agree with the beat downs in some cases...but stealing large sums of money and merchandise seems kinda bad if you ask me.

*shrug* i don't know how else you'd word it.
 
It's like "Training Day" w/ Denzel Washington.

It's about bad cops doing bad and good by working above the law. The have absolutely NO fear of the hard core criminals they pursue and kick absolute asss on every episode. Detective Mackey is like a seasoned pit bull taken off the leash and in attack mode 24/7.

I have NEVER seen a TV show go this far with foul language, nudity, gore, violence.

It's like watching a good theatrical movie every week!
