It would be interesting to see what shows are considered to be important in the development of culture in a hundred years time. Buffy is definitely a candidate, but my money is on The Shield. The storytelling hasn’t dated at all (although the outfits definirely have). There’s also an interesting conversation to be had about how shows like The Shield and The Wire pushed narratives about policing that are bluntly, extremely right-wing.
