I still randomly think of Chiklis busting into the barbershop and saying "just here to get my cornrolls tightened" in the most deadpan delivery, Classic Vic.

What was the whole implication of the Lloyd Denton storyline? Obviously I know it’s portrayed that he set up his friend and murdered his mom, but what’s the end goal of the storyline? Is he supposed to be the final boss serial killer that Dutch can never catch? Is he meant to show that Dutch will never be able to let go of his detective work?

Do you think he will ever see his kids again? Wouldn't he still have those connections to find out where they were?

It's crazy (not that surprising) that a trailer hits harder emotionally than the Avengers Doomsday trailer. Viewers must have been at maximum hype watching this back then.

When Vic confessed to all the crimes for immunity, he not only sent Ronnie to prison but he also pretty much gave him a death sentence (Antoine Mitchell). He isn't really any better than Shane.

So that Vic and Shane could have been referred to as "Mac & Cheese" throughout the series?

She actually ultilize Vic instead of bickering with him, she wants to change things for real. Too bad there's people bigger she gotta answer to.

This is a random observation but Julian when he was on the strike team was a really good cop. Always put in a lot of effort and never really made any mistakes. Also he could do undercover ops a lot better since he’s the only guy at that time on the team who wasn’t white.

He was quite a bit taller than Michael Chiklis on the show, so I assumed he was like over 6 feet or so, I was suprised to find out Goggins is only 5'10", so is Chiklis only like 5'7'? Some sources have him listed as 5'9" but that can't be right, Goggins looks like he's at least 3 inches taller. The girl that plays Vic's daughter was taller than him in the later seasons. And Dutch towers over all of them, so I thought he was like 6'5" LOL

What an amazing episode. Tulips and her yammy full of Georgia joy juice, Julian taking out his issues with the blanket party on the tranny, Connie walking away from Brian in a heartbreaking ending, not to mention the barn watching Dutch getting steam rolled by his suspect, only to turn the tables and solve the serial killer case while they all watch and give him a standing ovation. Then he breaks down in his car at the end. Just a brilliant episode all around, with three traumatic endings. Fucking bravo. Oh, and I almost forgot, we find out Aceveda has a sexual assault of his record.

Just finished SOA after binging through The Shield, both incredible. Feel kind of empty and looking for what’s next. I’ve done all the major ones like Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Wire, etc.

Looking for something with numerous seasons and where main characters are always at risk of getting whacked at any point. Mayans MC doesn’t sound interesting enough to me.

What else would you recommend that’s adjacent?

The clips they picked were great and hit on a lot of good moments in the show.

The last two clips are soul crushing.

I’ve been on an absolute tear through some of the best crime dramas on television.

Banshee gave me that raw, pulpy, incredible action.

Justified gave me the best dialogue, swagger, and Boyd Crowder.

The Shield just blew my mind completely. That finale is easily one of the greatest, most devastating pieces of television I have ever seen in my life. The poetic justice for Vic was unreal.

Now that I’ve finished the holy trinity, I have a massive void to fill. Where do I go from here?I’m looking for something with that same high-stakes energy, incredible characters, and a story that actually delivers a satisfying (or beautifully dark) conclusion.

What should be next on my watchlist?

I was thinking they could have had them already separated or divorced when the show began. I think Corrine became a much stronger character once she had an identity outside of being Vic's wife. Before that, most of her scenes were about reacting to Vic's behavior, and it often felt repetitive. Giving her a job connected her to the Barn's politics and consequences, so the conflict between her and Vic became more nuanced. Her disagreements weren't just marital complaints anymore they were based on how Vic's actions affected her own life and work.

A friend of mine that I befriended online made this!We have been friends for about 3 months and have watched similar TV shows together!

Reading Kavanaugh’s final report and he realizes the truth.
