I HAAAATE biopics about recent history. It's not entertainment. Doesn't matter if red or blue tinged it's still trash because the story needs to be "interesting" instead of the horrifying truth:

There is only power. And those who desire power above anything else.
And people who want other things. The rest is just window dressing.

If Aaron Sorkin wrote it, I'll let it be.

This ain't that though.

I'm sort of fine with fictional shows like The White House which are basically fantasy. I also like cop shows even though I know they are basically cop propaganda, it's just the justice fantasy and solving crimes is fun. As long as they don't muddle the water with recent real events.

For cop shows
Play a drinking game
When ever a DA or leo talk about or actually violate someone's rights
Drink
When probable cause & warrants, give way to exigent circumstances
Drink Cops are lazy & or overworked
Bonus round are people within the episode seeking rehabilitation, justice or retribution
Retribution
Drink
