My ex really liked that show, mostly the main guy. Could you elaborate a bit, e.g. plot, characters etc, if it's no trouble?
it's a show that hits all the usual conservative copaganda talking points. cops are good. bad guys are bad. innocent people will be fine as long as they comply. then consider how often a "good" character is white and a "bad" character is black, and a disconcerting pattern starts to arise. the show is outright cop apologia
New kid on the block always flew off the handle and went with his gut feeling. He was constantly using excessive force and beating up suspects. Even when it seemed like he went to far they would ultimately find out that whoever he beat up was a "piece of shit criminal" and they deserved it. The sister who was a DA and tried to get them to follow the rules was played as a bleeding heart liberal, and would get herself or others in trouble from being too soft on crime. She was also portrayed as a "ball busting bitch" with a chip on her shoulder. Grandpa was a racist fuck that everyone justified as that's just grandpa, he's from a different time.
Was your impression that the DA sister was a liberal? She was always doing her part to put people in jail, just didn't tolerate the police cutting corners. She always put her family first as well, corrupt as hell.
She was what conservatives think bleeding hearts are. Also liberals put people in jail all of the time, look at Kamala's history.
I wouldn't call Kamala a liberal either. The actual liberal in the show seemed to the DA's daughter.
I really hated that episode of Skip Intro's copaganda because it was just so well argued... it's a really good episode but man does it get my blood boiling!
