It Just Got Easier to Binge One of the Best TV Dramas of All-Time

The streaming era brought a massive boom to the world of television, but there were two networks in the ’90s and 2000s that really paved the way for TV as we know it today. HBO raised the bar with shows like Oz, The Wire, and The Sopranos, while FX brought that style and tone to cable. Many of HBO’s shows get their flowers for changing the landscape of television, but FX’s original cornerstone doesn’t always get the same love. That might change now that every episode is streaming for free.

Shawn Ryan’s acclaimed cop drama The Shield premiered on FX back in 2002 and set the network up for decades of success. The show is gritty, realistic, layered, and sometimes brutal, and it showed TV fans that the quality of HBO could make its way in front of the paywall. More than 20 years later, The Shield just got easier to watch than ever, thanks to Tubi.

At the beginning of the month, Tubi added all seven seasons of The Shield to its lineup, allowing fans to binge the complete series without signing up for any kind of subscription service.

If you haven’t seen it yet, The Shield follows a group of corrupt police officers in Los Angeles and boasts an all-star cast full of familiar faces (many of whom later appeared in fellow FX hit Sons of Anarchy). Michael Chiklis led the series for all seven seasons but the real breakout of the cast was current TV superstar Walton Goggins.
