Beneath the Darkness (2011)
Awwwwful
The best part of this movie is the song played during the credits.
The Shield (2002)
Dark comedy
I looked forward to finally be able to watch The Shield. I am a big fan of gritty cop shows. My understanding was that the shield was in line with Homicide, The Wire and Southland. The series began with much promise. Vic and the Strike team created the dark underbelly of the thin blue line. Sadly as the storyline progressed and Vic et al had to try and cover up their crimes it dissolved into the Keystone Cops with the Strike team scurrying around to cover their butts. These scenes would be comic gold if they were intentional and had the appropriate sound track but it is not played for comedy and their is the rub. The series is not intended to be a dark comedy but that is the result and a pretty average one at that.
