I have said many times that “Scrubs” is the most accurate medical show I’ve ever seen and nothing else really comes close.

I’ve never seen a medical show that didn’t actively depict medical misinformation.

Please don’t tell me She-Hulk Attorney at Law is not realistic either, it’s too high quality!  Dont take away my dreams!

“Yeah fuck the police. But not THOSE police in DC that protected our super special elite politicians. Give them more money, they are the only good police!”-Democrat logic

There has definitely been a lot of trolling about Larson, but there has also been a lot of good faith criticism of her performance. The AV Club itself, for example, said that “Larson’s photon-blasting spacefarer remains a blank slate” and says “her personality gets lost.” You disagree, obviously, and you’re more than…

It would be fair criticism if the show claimed to be realistic, but it doesn’t.

What makes John Oliver a “third party group” rather than just another propagandist? He’s got a TV show... like Dick Wolf. What consequences would he face if he mislead his viewers?

I’ve previously expressed my exasperation at comedians decrying how deplorable everything is with no answer in sight (in short, I no longer find it entertaining since it is so horrific, nor do I expect these hosts to come up with workable solutions to fix it). That said, I do appreciate Oliver in particular shedding…

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this episode is targeting a major show from another competing network.
It’s still a great episode, Law and Order deserves to get knocked down more than a few pegs, but I still can’t help but wonder...
“Would they do this for The Wire, True Detective?”

Then make your own. Make the anti-policing series this country, in your eyes, seems to so desperately crave. Bury L&O in the ratings and make that viewpoint obsolete. “Go away and die” doesn’t seem to be working.

Criticizing pop culture vs. blaming it for society’s woes are two different things. For instance, blaming a cop TV show for enabling bad cop behavior is not a far argument from blaming violent video games for violence in society.

At this point if anyone is surprised that these shows don’t depict reality, that’s on them and them alone.

Maybe if we taught critical thinking in school, we’d have fewer people consuming entertainment as fact.

Yes, yes. Fuck the police. Fuck them all. Until you need them.

If they depicted these institutions accurately, boredom would be a bigger problem than outrage.

I’m pretty sure corrupt police unions are to blame for that, not a TV show, but since we seem to only try and fix societal issues through media I suppose Dick Wolf should get on it!

Sept 2022: John Oliver has run out of things to skewer, or whatever.

Worth noting that the original game was a big piece of shít when it released: the network code in particular was shocking & I recall us abandoning plays ‘cos it couldn’t handle the dozen or so of us at a LAN. I think patch 1.4 was the one that fixed the Network Code and the game kinda took from there.

Her excitement was palatable

I await the next callous snarky post just before this poor girl inevitably OD’s.
