The angriest character on TV

Michale Chiklas (vic mackey?) is the angriest character on TV and one of the scariest. "The Shield" (season 6) is about as subtle as a sledgehammer, but it's pretty compelling, especially, maybe only, because of Mackey. For whatever reason, the other so-called tough cops that surround him seem about as tough as, well, a bunch of 2nd-tier TV actors, which they are, but Chiklas more than makes up and carries the show. Too much so at time. Every time he enters a crime scene you know he's going to kick through the door and then kick the shit out of somebody in a way that borders on murderous assault. Of course that makes him all the more scary, as we know entering season 6 that he is out for serious revenge on whoever planted a grenade in a car that killed one of his partners (Lem, end of season 5), and we know that it's one of the two remaining partners, I forget the names at the moment. To Mackey (sp?), everything's about loyalty, and we await the confrontation when he realizes one of his troop killed the other member. That's the overall plat; the great Forrest Whittaker, from internal affairs, is still checking out Mackey. His family life is still a mess. He's another one of these vulnerable heros, will break any ethical boundary or restriction, but if you're being held hostage he's the cop you want to come to the scene and rescue you. He's a terrifying figure, but fierce about his family (though unfaithful), someone you always want on your side but you never really want to be on his. The Shield build on a series of fast cuts, often with Mackey leading his men right toward us, they're blurred in the background, and his face is locked into scowl. I'll keep watching.
