I’m not really into cop shows but man Bosch is so good. all the actors are excellent, the writing is pretty good, the cinematography is outstanding. everything is good and I didn’t realize another season dropped back in April so I’ve been watching that.

The only form of ethical consumption under the late-capitalist mode of production is buying and selling used copies of Dune with a first-sell date before the rise of the foul usurper Brian "Lord of Lies" Herbert.

I tried a couple episodes when it first came out but thought "oh look yet another gritty rear end in a top hat alcoholic detective but actually he's brilliant show" and dropped it. if it manages to transcend that maybe I'll give it another shot also I'm watching gundam unicorn and the plot is convoluted garbage but it has some of the best giant robot pew pew action I've ever seen

i figured out something i think about fargo season 4 there aren't any more good cop characters actually that's what should have been bugging me about previous seasons the only good cops retired from copping when they realized what a poo poo show the job was and that they didn't deserve to have the power of life and death s4 just does away with any semblance of a sympathetic cop which is good little on the nose

The SubG one I will absolutely bail on if there's even a hint of lib smuggery, but the early SG poo poo amused me as a young man first on the Internet way back when.

Oh for sure. there's a bit of value in looking back at that. It's like Adbusters, kinda. Super tame and a little cringe in 2020, but 20-25 years ago? fuckin straight up subversive

Bosch is honestly one of the most deranged pieces of copaganda and one of the running subplots is dealing with Chinese spies. My favorite season is the one where they deal with the BLM movement, and a black lawyer who is suing the department for doing another rodney king. The whole season they paint the black lawyer as an absolute piece of poo poo, he cheats on his wife frequently, neglects his son (which causes him to get into dealing drugs), and things like that. The lady who is heading the BLM movement is painted as an violent extermist despite only organizing peaceful protests the whole season, and told by the police chief that they only way they can change the system is by joining it and trying to change it from the inside. Bosch also has a whole line about how there are good cops and bad cops, and it's on the good cops to root out the bad ones. It should be added that he lives in a huge mansion in san francisco despite being a police detective and treats his teenage daughter (who has dealt with a shitload of emotional trauma) as a stay at home wife in later seasons. The best cop show is Justified because the whole show is supposed to show the marshals as nothing more than a bunch of goons who terrorize people, but timothy olyphant unironically believes that is a good thing for cops to do.

I’m not really defending the content since acab but I still enjoy the filming and scenery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for less coptroversial submissions I think lovecraft country is worth a watch

justified loving rules. bosch the tv show is ok and bosch is never presented as a house/holmes type savant. bosch is an rear end in a top hat whos just smart enough to use the system to hide his crimes. if hes better than other cops its just because he actually does the work, not because he sees the things other people dont. hes an rear end in a top hat to his co-workers because he thinks they dont work as hard as he does and hes an rear end in a top hat to people he thinks are criminals because he has mommy issues. the hero of the show is a defense attorney who spends her days fighting abusive cops, which of course would include bosch.

I think I still have one of the books floating around stick figures were not invented in 2002
