    There’s copaganda everywhere. Cop shows are like the cosmic background radiation of TV. Cheap, trope heavy, the plots and characters basically write themselves.

      I feel like Apple TV is light on copaganda compared to the broadcast networks. I can’t think of one off the top of my head.

        Assuming detectives count, Criminal Record? I don’t know, I just looked it up, I don’t actually have Apple stuff. I’d be really surprised if there wasn’t more on it, even if it’s not original programming.

        Edit: Slow Horses too perhaps? Although it’s more domestic intelligence shit, it’s in the same vein.

          Oh yeah, Slow Horses is probally one that kinda counts. But it definitely doesn’t have the typical copaganda feel.

          Edit: Hijack probally kinda counts too. But even less than Slow Horses. At least based on what I saw of the first season.

        Slow Horses is technically a cop show, I guess, but they definitely don’t paint them in a great light.
