AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: While some might find its violence excessive, The Shield's sixth season nevertheless delivers the kind of jaw-dropping action and meticulous mind games that make this cop drama so riveting.

Critic Reviews for The Shield: Season 6
All Critics (11) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (4)
Even knowing that the episodes were meant to be for another season, Season 6 creates a storyline for its characters which makes the creation of these ten episodes as its own season worthwhile.
The scenes of police brutality, rape and street violence are excessive.
This pulp plotting and characterization means that everyone gets something interesting to do, but it also means that the fine points of emotion and psychology are sublimated in favor of shouting matches.
Vic Mackey is the kind of bad cop that Shakespeare would dream up, if he were in the business of penning procedural dramas.
It wasn't a knock-the-wind-out-of-you finale, but "The Shield" knows itself - its strengths, its limits - and...it has a way with unresolved resolutions.
After last season's landmark finale...it would be hard for The Shield to match, let alone top, itself. And it did not. Instead, it turned, for one brief night, into an episode of 24.
