6. "The
Shield" (FX): The worse Vic Mackey's life becomes,
the better for us. In 2007, the corrupt cop's house of cards finally toppled
over, leaving us to marvel at the desperate machinations of a once-defiant man.
Not only did it bring us Emmy-winner Michael Chiklis' finest
... more hour as
Mackey, but "The Shield" also bestowed meaty dramatic bones upon Walton Goggins, CCH Pounder, Jay Karnes and guest star Forest Whitaker. Hell, even the guy who plays Ronnie
finally got to make an impact. Like O.J. Simpson in a Vegas hotel room,
Vic is heading down a bad road; that much we've known for years. What we
couldn't have predicted, however, was the sheer beauty in watching a man's
discarded demons return for the kill.
