"Once again, 'The Shield' departs from formula, compelling us to watch." -- The Seattle Times TV's most in-your-face cop drama returns with a gripping, take-no-prisoners fourth season!
Life at the Barn may never be the same after the Strike Team is dissolved and Vic and Shane are assigned to regular detective duty. Captain Aceveda is also leaving to begin his new job on the City Council. Any hope that Detective Claudette Wyms had of assuming Aceveda's command is dashed when another female, Monica Rawling, is chosen as the new captain. Although Vic often clashed with Aceveda, he quickly realizes that Captain Rawling also has her own agenda - one that not only shakes up the gangs on the streets, but causes friction among many of the detectives, as well.
