United States: How do the Chinese and Russians fall for such obvious government propaganda!?!

Also United States: OMG, my favorite show CSI: Miami Law Blue Bloods Unit is on! OMG, my favorite movie is on Cop Show, but With More CGI and Colorful Costumes!

I feel like you can both enjoy cop shows and know that ACAB IRL.

I personally tend to find it difficult tbh, unless the parts of the show that AREN'T the copaganda hero worship is exceptionally well-written and/or stupid in ways that delight me.

Examples of cop shows (including hybrids with aspects of other genres) I will watch and rewatch for all time:

Lucifer, Brooklyn 99, Paradise PD, Mindhunter, The Wire, Dexter

Examples of shows with so much or so awful copaganda that I believe they should not be allowed on TV without a disclaimer:

Every CSI show; NCIS; every Law & Order show, but especially the ones where they torture and otherwise abuse presumed innocent people the most; 24; Blue Bloods

Cop shows I go back and forth about:

True Detective, Castle, The Blacklist, White Collar, Bones

That didn't count, it was a documentary.

It was supposed to be an off the cuff set of examples rather than an exhaustive list. That being said, you're right that Reno 911 belongs in that category 😁
