Cop vs cop
It stars Michael Chiklis
as rogue cop Vic Mackey, leader of the elite Strike Team unit, who is
effective at eliminating crime, but who operates under his own set of
rules. Benito Martinez plays Captain David Aceveda, the young precinct
head, who doesn’t like Mackey’s tactics, and wants to bust him off
the force. The Emmy-nominated CCH Pounder plays Claudette Wyms, a
veteran detective, understands Mackey and knows how to play both sides
of the fence. This is a nail-biting series where criminals have a heart
and cops are not above breaking laws. — NF

It is a cop-genre series
with a difference. The Shield on Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Star
World plays out in a tough, morally ambiguous world in which the line
between good and bad is crossed every day. The series focuses on the
tension between a group of corrupt but effective Los Angeles cops, and a
captain torn between bringing them down and advancing his own political
ambitions.
