Tv reflects society. Period. End of sentence. It always has and it always will. So when society (aka the united states of america) is having constant and dangerous issues with firearms, television (especially COP television) IS GOING TO REFLECT THAT. I am so so sick and tired of going to read reviews these days and everything is a complaint about the "left" or "being woke". Frankly, if your "review" is spouting nonsense like this, it shouldn't even make it through the process to actually be posted. It has NO BEARING on the actual piece of entertainment. Complain about inaccuracies, absolutely. Whine about writing, totally. But stop victimizing yourself. People don't wanna hear a soap box; they wanna know if what they're about to watch is worth watching or not. Grow up. Or, maybe, just don't watch cop shows if you don't wanna hear how we have a law enforcement and gun problem in this country. Or a race problem. Matter of fact, just don't watch tv if you don't want to hear about what's going on in the world. I would say watch Sesame Street but even they are getting political these days so who knows?
Now, so I am not like all the others that I complain about, I am going to include an ACTUAL review:
The episode was actually pretty well put together. We are shown the grief and worry of a new (again) mother. We get Dylan in a tank top (thank you to whoever had that idea). We get a girl power vibe from the team with the three ladies kicking butt (though, it should make some of you happy to know we will be getting another boy on the team. Relax).
I will say, and the only part of me that agrees with my fellow reviews, that my only issue (and it's one i've had for awhile) is the constant turnover on this show. There's turnover on all shows, I get that. But for a show with only 4 seasons (just starting the 4th), we've already dropped so many main characters, mostly men. It's like the opposite problem that One Chicago shows have (constantly losing women). I know that Julian (Jess) started the show by saying he has no plans of staying long; but to lose so many in such a short amount of time is not only heartbreaking but also frustrating for continuity. Let's just hope that this season, most of the episodes will actually have every member of the team present instead of the pattern of "so and so is off helping family for such and such time" or just a randomly missing team member for an episode or two. Again, my only issue.
One last thing, if an ACAB anarchist like me can get enjoyment (and a lot of it) out of cop shows (many, many cop shows) then so can the self-professed fans of law enforcement that the right purports themselves to be. Just enjoy tv. A lot of people spend a lot of time and money to tell stories that they feel are important - the least we can do is actually listen to what they are saying instead of interrupting them or putting words in their mouth. Be blessed. Watch more tv. Or don't and leave your mean reviews to yourself so good shows like this don't get canceled because of your nay-saying.
