The Shield (2002-2008)
The Shield (2002) is a crime drama television series that follows the lives of a group of police officers in the fictional Los Angeles police department. The show is known for its gritty realism and its exploration of the moral ambiguity of law enforcement. One of the aspects of the show that has been widely discussed is its depiction of sexuality.
The Shield features a variety of sexual moments throughout its seven-season run. These moments range from the subtle to the explicit, and they often serve to further the plot or to provide insight into the characters. In the pilot episode, for example, Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) has a brief encounter with a prostitute. This scene serves to establish Vic’s character as a morally ambiguous figure who is willing to bend the rules in order to get the job done.
The show also features a number of more explicit sexual moments. In one episode, Vic and his partner Shane Vendrell (Walton Goggins) are seen engaging in a threesome with two prostitutes. This scene serves to illustrate the complex relationship between the two men, as well as their willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
The Shield also features a number of scenes that explore the sexuality of its female characters. In one episode, Detective Claudette Wyms (CCH Pounder) is seen in a steamy encounter with a male prostitute. This scene serves to illustrate Claudette’s strength and independence, as well as her willingness to take risks in order to get the job done.
Overall, The Shield is a show that is not afraid to explore the complexities of human sexuality. Its depiction of sexual moments serves to further the plot and to provide insight into the characters. The show’s frank and honest approach to sexuality is one of the reasons why it has been so successful.
They is quick scene where they show woman naked woman seating on man's lap in quick second you see her nipple and her bare backside when she stands up to leave.
Most episodes have no sexual content at all, and when it does, it isn't graphic.
The sex/nudity is never graphic. Many adult topics are talked about throughout the show. Some scenes show breasts, and buttocks but it's always quick and non-explicit. There are a few sexual scenes, but not too graphic.
There are a few sexual situations, including (strippers/prostitutes(no nudity), as well as a few scenes with brief nudity(side breast etc), and only a small amount of sex scenes through the entire show which is 88 episodes.
Side breast's are seen in multiple scenes. Adult themes such as prostitution are talked about, but not shown.
In Season 3, Vic forces a prostitute to take a gun in her mouth saying "Take it." Very jarring and unsettling with its overtones.
(Numerical rating deleted.)
Some, themes deal with prostitution and rape. Rape is discussed when investigating crimes but it's never shown. Men and women buttocks are shown rarely. Instances of this include a streaking prank in the police station, a strip search of a male suspect with minimal nudity shown.
Aceveda gets sexually assaulted in season three. He is forced to perform oral sex on a junkie. Not overly detailed but enough of it is shown to be extremely disturbing. (Not as explicit due to camera angle)
