Well yeah, cause the only other way that story could’ve gone was “the OG Black Panthers were right, obviously the good guys and revolution is key” which isn’t a story that you’re allowed to tell.
To be fair, that series pushed that line much more than pretty much anything else I’ve seen on TV, but they did Ekko so dirty.
99 got extra woke in the last season. I thought they handled it well.
They address the George Floyd murder head-on. Rosa quits the force because of it. Jake is forced to address how he’s internalized some of those problematic attitudes. If you stopped before the last season, it’s worth giving it another look.
I used to like The Rookie, but honestly after George Floyd I just couldn’t stomach any propaganda cop shows anymore.
Those motherfucker CHOCKED the man to death while smiling.
The show tried to pay lip service to it but honestly nothing they could do could possibly be enough.
This happened to me with Brooklyn 99, than even for a cop show is kinda woke.
Or the Dota show, that V, who has been oppressed by the police all her life became a cop officer on the first episode of the second season.
