Season 2
After a rocky start, Detective Vic Mackey and Captain David Aceveda have formed an uneasy alliance that Detective Claudette Wyms is determined to destroy. Vic's personal life is in shambles and a new nemesis on the street forces the Strike Team to risk everything in the pursuit of one last big score for their "retirement fund." The Shield made history with the most Emmy nominations ever for a basic cable drama. It won a Golden Globe for Best Drama Series and star Michael Chiklis won both the Emmy and Golden Globe awards for Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Brace yourself for a powerful second season that's even edgier and more in-your-face than the first.

Season 3
After scoring big with the money train, the Strike Team plays it cool to avoid arousing suspicion as Dutch and Claudette investigate the robbery and murder of two Armenian gangsters. Tensions are stretched even further when Vic finds himself at odds with his team as they face a bitter rivalry from the new Decoy Squad. But hostilities are quickly forgotten when Captain Aceveda reveals that the Strike Team is the target of an Armenian mob hit.

Season 4
TV's most in-your-face cop drama returns with a gripping, take-no-prisoners fourth season!
Life at the Barn may never be the same after the Strike Team is dissolved and Vic and Shane are assigned to regular detective duty. Captain Aceveda is also leaving to begin his new job on the City Council. Any hope that Detective Claudette Wyms had of assuming Aceveda's command is dashed when another female, Monica Rawling, is chosen as the new captain. Although Vic often clashed with Aceveda, he quickly realizes that Captain Rawling also has her own agenda - one that not only shakes up the gangs on the streets, but causes friction among many of the detectives, as well.

Season 5
As the Strike Team attempts to defuse racial tensions in the neighborhood, friction inside The Barn escalates with the arrival of Detective Jon Kavanaugh, an ambitious and menacing Internal Affairs officer determined to bring down Vic Mackey.

In the midst of all this uneasiness and mistrust Dutch and Claudette's work relationship becomes strained, Danny refuses to reveal the father of her baby and Julien struggles after he's partnered with a bumbling rookie cop.
