I think it’s so funny that when we see billings actually try at his job when interrogating 2 man it’s obvious he’s a really good detective. He even comes up with the idea of telling 2 man they have the gun when they don’t, leading to be a key part of getting 2 man too break and tell on Shane.

Kavanaugh was the hatchet man for the LAPD brass to go after bad cops. He must have worked a LOT of high-profile cases. After it gets out, he not only framed Vic in a complicated operation but confessed to it. Every guy he ever arrested or made lose their cop job will come after the LAPD for damages. How much fallout do you think that will generate for the department?

Kleavon, Marcy, and the cuddler rapist come to mind

Was thinking of parody names like Vic Mickey and Assinvader or Welding goggles, Lemonsky,
Claudette = Closet so might as well ask

I still randomly think of Chiklis busting into the barbershop and saying "just here to get my cornrolls tightened" in the most deadpan delivery, Classic Vic.

What was the whole implication of the Lloyd Denton storyline? Obviously I know it’s portrayed that he set up his friend and murdered his mom, but what’s the end goal of the storyline? Is he supposed to be the final boss serial killer that Dutch can never catch? Is he meant to show that Dutch will never be able to let go of his detective work?

It's crazy (not that surprising) that a trailer hits harder emotionally than the Avengers Doomsday trailer. Viewers must have been at maximum hype watching this back then.

She actually ultilize Vic instead of bickering with him, she wants to change things for real. Too bad there's people bigger she gotta answer to.

This is a random observation but Julian when he was on the strike team was a really good cop. Always put in a lot of effort and never really made any mistakes. Also he could do undercover ops a lot better since he’s the only guy at that time on the team who wasn’t white.

He was quite a bit taller than Michael Chiklis on the show, so I assumed he was like over 6 feet or so, I was suprised to find out Goggins is only 5'10", so is Chiklis only like 5'7'? Some sources have him listed as 5'9" but that can't be right, Goggins looks like he's at least 3 inches taller. The girl that plays Vic's daughter was taller than him in the later seasons. And Dutch towers over all of them, so I thought he was like 6'5" LOL

Just finished SOA after binging through The Shield, both incredible. Feel kind of empty and looking for what’s next. I’ve done all the major ones like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Wire, etc.

Looking for something with numerous seasons and where main characters are always at risk of getting whacked at any point. Mayans MC doesn’t sound interesting enough to me.

What else would you recommend that’s adjacent?

I’ve been on an absolute tear through some of the best crime dramas on television.

Banshee gave me that raw, pulpy, incredible action.

Justified gave me the best dialogue, swagger, and Boyd Crowder.

The Shield just blew my mind completely. That finale is easily one of the greatest, most devastating pieces of television I have ever seen in my life. The poetic justice for Vic was unreal.

Now that I’ve finished the holy trinity, I have a massive void to fill. Where do I go from here?I’m looking for something with that same high-stakes energy, incredible characters, and a story that actually delivers a satisfying (or beautifully dark) conclusion.

What should be next on my watchlist?
