This is a decent cop show with fairly good characters. But I will have to say that it cannot be put into the same category as the premiere cop show in America, The Shield. The differences are quickly apparent. The Shield has an immediacy and grip to it that makes it almost impossible to turn away from for even a moment. The scripts for The Shield are better, the dialogue is more powerful and more real, the directing is superior, the camera work is better. The anti-gang task force in The Shield is more realistic as it is much more likely to exist than is the "super team" multi-agency concept for Wanted. Rent any past season of The Shield and watch it again. I would wager that the comparison will not favor Wanted. This show tries, self-consciously and awkwardly at times, to ape The Shield. It has not yet found its own style, and if ratings do not improve it won't get the chance. None of this is to denigrate Wanted but merely to point out that there are good shows and there are great shows. Wanted is a good show. The Shield is in another universe entirely.
