Over seven seasons, the “Strike Team” routinely broke the law – not just to keep the peace but to line their own pockets.
The drama which blurred the lines between cops and robbers like never before. Based on the real-life Rampart Division corruption scandal, creator Shawn Ryan’s street-smart, morally ambiguous neo-noir followed rogue LAPD officer Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis), leader of an elite unit of anti-gang detectives. Over seven seasons, the “Strike Team” routinely broke the law – not just to keep the peace but to line their own pockets. It played out like a Shakespearean tragedy as Mackey got in way over his head, went to increasingly extreme lengths and was eventually caught.
