The Shield: Family Meeting (2008)
No ending has stuck with me like this one.
I finished my first ever watch through of The Shield a month ago and at first I didn't think much of the finale. I thought it was a good ending but about two hours later I started thinking about it again and I got choked up. All the remaining domino pieces that were set up by the creators had a brick of C4 thrown at them. Although Shane was annoying throughout the entire series, I felt so bad for him and his family. But the worst part that still haunts me is the level of betrayal that Ronnie felt as he's getting dragged away. I'm a big fan of total silence so when Vic was staring at Shane's suicide photos and at the very ending in his new office spoke VOLUMES to me. I like how everything was wrapped up but still left ambiguous simultaneously for the audience. Although the Dutch and Claudette story in this episode that didn't involve Mackey was forgettable, I could overlook it because the remaining Strike Team story was so good. What else is there to say? Just an incredible finale that deserves more credit.
