The Shield is one of best cop shows of all time and this boxset is quite satisfactory. BUT the feature length season finales of Seasons 5 and 6 have been cut. It shouldn't come as a surprise, the Region 2 individual boxsets were edited in the same way, hence all the irate reviews here on Amazon. The Region 1 boxsets were intact. For all the diehard Shield fans who love watching the show in sequence, watching this one may cause confusion.
Eg in Season 5 not all of Kavanagh's exchange with Corrine is displayed, plus Danny doesn't confront her baby's father. Yet in Season 6 Danny and father's identity is common knowledge. These issues aside, why pay for dvds with edited episodes when they were broadcast in full on TV.
If you want the full package you're better off buy the individual boxsets. For such an eagerly awaited arrival, it is such as a disappointment.

Bought this boxset in the hopes that it would have the complete unedited episodes... but unfortunately this is just a repackage of the already released Region 2 discs, meaning that the Season 5 finale still has that huge 20 minute chunk taken out of it, which actually leads to some relatively confusing scenes later in Season 6.
Don't get me wrong, this show is awesome... and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who hasn't seen it. but it's a shame that they didn't use this re release as a chance to include the episodes as they originally aired.

The Shield is a great program, brilliant writing and some shocking twists. This would be a five star product, except this edition has been edited. Having seen the episodes before I was waiting for certain scenes and knew what happened. If you hadn't seen it before some of the scenes get covered in the re-caps at the start of the episodes which you haven't seen. Very irritating.
Over all if you've not seen The Shield, this is a cracking show and I would highly recommened it.

Great series, but the packaging is second rate
This is a great series - all-action but with intelligent storylines and some really great acting. So why is the packing so substandard? Read more

Toughest cop show ever
The only thing edited is the season 5 finale - only 47 min. instead of 70. The other episodes are in extened versions. Looking forward for a blu-ray release. Highly recommened.

Entertaining but increasingly unbelievable
I really enjoyed The Shield, watched all the episodes almost back to back. But for me, the series started to go downhill a bit from the introduction of Kavanaugh through to the... Read more

Totally bizarre that the distributors should release a cut version. If you buy a boxset that says "complete seasons 1-7", you should have a reasonable expectation that it does... Read more

Amazing.
The Shield is up there with The Wire and The Sopranos. Amazing show. Fast paced. Vic is a legend. Sometimes you can't believe what just happened.
