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.
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.
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.
