It is any good as The Shield?


It is graphic or uncomprimising as The Shield?

reply

No way. Not at all... Mind you, not much is as graphic & as uncompromising as The Sheild. Copenhagen is also no East L.A. You've pretty much got the very little ethnic mixing in the Danish Capital. Anthropologically, L.A. & Copenhagen are COMPLETELY different.

You can not compare those two, I have to say though that given that Copenhagen is much smaller than L.A they have just as big a ethnic melting pot.

Not necessarily ... just better ... better scripts, better acting ... better sense of when enough is enough ... no scene-chewing American histrionics ...no "I'm the toughest son-of-a-bitch on the block" macho *beep* ...just solid, realistic drama.
Also Scandanavian, and also better than "The Shield" are the Danish series, "The Eagle" and the Swedish entry, "Wallander", (which IS pretty graphic) ... if you want really graphic, try the depressing forensic pathology drama from the UK, "Silent Witness", or the UK. profiler series, "Wire in the Blood".

I've seen four episodes and I'm enjoying it's down to earth, serious feel without MTV inspired theatrics. I feel that Scott Steiner should have his own cop show since that's all our shows portray is usually bullying testosterone injected meatheadedness.
