I sometimes wish I never did deep dive on copaganda few years back as it genuinely put me off a lot of law enforcements shows (dramas and comedies). There was excellent article in The Atlantic on LAPD and 'Dragnet' show I wanna say 7-8 years ago? Before I think the term itself became widespread., And it really made me change how I view police characters in shows overall, but especially police characters in shows that are backed by local police. I think there is a fine line between balancing 'humanizing' cops as people/characters and 'local department will push their narrative into fictional show to enforce their POV and distort public opinions'. And most shows cross it. I think B99 is actually a biggest culprit in recent years with that distortion of reality and making us feel warm and fuzzy, but most of the procedurals shows are guilty of the charge. This is this decade's 'CSI effect'. While 'CSI effect' poisoned jury pools in terms of forensic evidence expectations, 'Copaganda' builds quite false narrative around police behavior's.

2023-09-09 15:39:59 +0000 UTCI'll be honest, I don't really like this particular episode. I've watched some video essays on how police dramas are often influenced by the department they are set in as some subtle pro-police propaganda, and normally I don't notice/care. However, in this episode, they went way too heavy handed on the "cops don't steal seized money/take favors" to the point of quoting what I presume are the actual regulations for the LAPD, and that just absolutely kills the immersion IMO. Pretty sure this is the worst episode for that in the series though.
