The Shield was an excellent show! So many blurred lines with both shows.

Fun fact: Dollar Bill plays Paster Tim in The Americans. It took me 2 Seasons to figure that out. LOL!

You cite Axe in the Sandicot deal as a bad guy. Yet you leave off what Chuck's dad and Chuck's political backer did. They provender the Casino from coming to Sandicot so that Axe wouldn't win. The point of the show is that there is no clear winner/looser and there is no better person between the two of them nor are…

I think Jack didn't want him to go after Axe with businesses that intersected with his own. But Jack will get him over how Chuck just created big problems for them both because of his wife Wendy taking a short position with Axe Capital along with the fact that she gave him insider trading information.
