Most shows these days stink, period.
The writers all try to be overly clever while slipping in liberal claptrap.
You are being generous in your use of clever, IMHO
Watching the old Boston Legal and now the Hank's Law, it is almost like at some point in every episode, one actor starts giving a Power Point presentation on some factless liberal diatribe. They are not even subtle any more. (hence my questioning the word, clever)
