    I’ve seen a lot of the modern Copaganda and holy shit is it awful. Never heard of this one but just seeing the looks on these dumb people’s faces tells me enough. Maybe someone who’s seeing newer shit can tell me, but as far as I’m concerned the dumbest one of them all is still criminal minds.

      Blue Bloods exists. It’s a copaganda show about the Reagan cop family, doing cop things with such care and honor and these damn browns with their phone cameras filming police brutality against the violent offender shaking my smdh

        I’ve always heard the wire put up as “prestige television”, is it worth watching if you can’t stomach most cop characters?

          None of the cops in it are portrayed as morally good, at most competent but corrupt. The sympathetic characters are the gang members and their victims. It takes the side of drugs in the war on drugs.

          edit: Also it’s definitely worth the watch in terms of prestige dramas. It’s right below The Leftovers and on par with The Sopranos for me. Incredibly good writing and character development.

      in rehab my roommate defaulted to FBI or to country music television and FBI was marginally preferable but it is dumb as shit and completely forgettable, like I couldn’t even begin to cobble together any of the plots, characters, or setting from memory if i had a gun to my head forgettable
