The filmmakers of The Shield keep on harping about how the "only way" they could film their show is badly, because of how "real" they want it to be.
But I am asking you: how is shaking the camera at nothing in particular making anything look more "real"? It doesn't. Shaking the camera constantly just makes The Shield look like their directors don't know what they're doing and so just shake the camera in hopes people will be fooled. They're not.
This show has survived only because FX has decided that, even against all evidence to the contrary, this show would be hyped as a "hit". In reality, it's ranked in the low 300s!!! Shame on FX for wasting its money this way.
