It would be so much of a better show if it wasn't such a copoganda. The writing is great, actors are great, but their insistence to suck cops dics and portray the police as this noble organization that is making the world the better place one brutalised civilian at a time is just tiring.
Get over yourself. If you can suspend your disbelief to watch a show about the Devil running a nightclub, you can watch 'copaganda.'
You remind me of the people who complain about bad language in rap music; if you're going to be offended by something, it's your job to stay away from it.
nah, it's a legitimate complaint, and exactly the reason I stopped watching after a couple episodes. They portray cops like they're "angel helpers" and it just reeks of bootlicking bullshit. The main character is Lucifer Morningstar, or the guy who's main schtick is questioning authority, and yet he's 5-0's best friend. It completely destroys the idea behind the show, when the obvious corrupt organization is never taken to task. Atlanta shows cops as they are, this show is just copaganda.
It's a TV show, produced to sell advertising in the USA.
You might as well complain about the lack of vegan options at McDonald's.
That doesn't make the criticism invalid.
You have a right to critique any aspect of any work.
To me, this is as silly as the people who were offended when the Green M+M changed her shoes.
Restaurant having no vegan option is indeed bad and deserves complaints. I don't know what's your problem with criticizing shit, you seem to have no problems with telling me how to do media analysis, so you understand the concept
You remind me of the people who got upset when the Green M+M changed her shoes.
This a very impressive way to misunderstand a big number of concepts
You're funny.
What exactly do you think I misunderstand?
We all agree it's a fantasy TV show, being shown on commercial networks in order to sell advertising.
My take is that as adults people should understand that the show is a fantasy and is meant for light entertainment purposes.
But you were so shocked and offended by the depiction of the police that you caught a case of the vapors.
I understand your criticism of the portrayal of the police. I simply find it ridiculous.
