Rewatching The Shield.....

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Worst character in the whole show.

I don't think most women would do that.

there's a reason we say GMB, brehs. I fully believe a woman would do exactly what she did.

And to give her justice, she held Vic down more than he deserved before that happened. She was just mentally weak and easily manipulated, which worked for Vic when he was the one doing the manipulating, but when Claudette and Dutch got in her ear and started threatening her, she broke easy. Vic should have spent time making her strong so she could stand ten toes down when he needed her to.

That was nasty work the way Vic ex wife played him in the end. Thats what hurt him more than anything. The fact that his family was taken from him. He was going hard trying to protect her, even backstabbed Ronnie to save her and the whole time, she was the opps.

Vic was controlling, manipulative and deceitful to Connie through the entire show. Sucks that she was the main one to set him up but this was years in the making for all this sh1t that he put her through. Sometimes, it be the closest ones that hurts you at the end and she got him by turning on him and taking his kids away for good. Even Danny didn't even want him around to raise their kid because she knew that Mackey was bad news (she choose down low ass Julian to help her with the baby ). The man has no family or friends to hold him through because it was always about him at the end of the day and everyone saw what type of person that he really was at the end. A selfish, scumbag criminal playing cop to justified his sadistic desires. Great show but he had everything coming to him at the end .

Everything you said about him is true except for one thing. He loved his children. He exhibited sociopath behavior to everybody but his children.

Too few people recognized that Succession took their inspiration for their shooting style from this show. The in-the-room camera, racketed zooms, being reactionary instead of predicting the action are all 100% from what Ryan, Brazil & Johnson set up on The Shield.
