Featured review
Heart is in the right place, doesn't stick the landing...
The discussion around policing has changed a lot in the last ~10 years and rightfully so. Obviously a show taking place in a police department would have to deal with that. Unfortunately, this episode feels like a very one-dimensional take on a very complicated issue.
Characters are simply split into "good" and "bad" groups and they fall into the most predictable, stereotypical camps. People that agree with the politics will give it a 10, people who disagree will give it a 1. Personally, I think the problem is not with the politics, but with how poorly the themes of the episode are woven into the story. It feels like the show is trying to tell me how to think and that feels a little uncomfortable, even if I *do* ultimately agree with the message being presented.
Some might say that it's not the responsibility of a comedy show to deal with such serious issues, but I disagree. Other shows have managed to bridge social commentary and comedy premises and we should be holding comedies to higher standards.
