Does Brooklyn 99 count as copaganda?
- danaris 1y agoNearly every police procedural does. Every one that I've seen (which is several, but a long way from comprehensive—there are a hell of a lot of them) features the main characters frequently and deliberately violating suspects' rights, both Constitutional and otherwise, in order to get the evidence that they "know" has to be there, with widely varying degrees of ostensible justification being provided.
- helpfulclippy 1y agoFWIW, The Wire strikes me as very much not “copaganda.” It has the rights violations you describe, among other things, but the thrust of the presentation seems to be: “this is real, this is routine, and this definitely is not working.”
- bravetraveler 1y agoYet, from every fan, I hear more about how they love the show than how it reflects on reality. In the end, normalizing deviance. Diet propaganda. My ire is more at the box usage than the content, honestly. The second oldest profession also involves sales. Just snake oil instead of self. Heed Kendrick: turn the TV off.
