The Shield is kind of a transition show between old style of police show and new cable drama ones, so I think it felt obligated to have Dutch and Claudette do some B plot detective cases, but Vic storyline feels more serialized and split into seasonal arcs more than episodic ones, if I remember correctly.

Well worth it if you haven't seen Black Sails, one of the top dramas with a really solid ending.

Another good show on there is The Missing.

Flesh and Bone is one you don't hear talked about much, it was killed off after 1 season so there's not a lot that wraps up but I thought it was interesting. Something to check out if you're looking for something different.

For what it's worth, I thought the whole thing felt very natural and a worthwhile continuation that everyone involved seems to be all-in on.

I like Lizzy Caplan but I didn't particularly miss her presence in this episode. It didn't feel much different from when they swapped out Jane Lynch for Megan Mullally (both of whom are in this revival).

There is always some kind of overall season storyline. But within the season there are mini-arcs that may only occur over two to three episodes.

But, with every episode, there is a crime of the week B-story happening.

In the final two or three seasons, just about every episode will contain at least one or two scenes that relate to the overall story arc of that season.
