“Freedom” with Holt McCallany..short-lived tv series on the air around 2000/2001. IIRC they were fighting a military coup after the President’s plane is shot down and he is presumed dead.
Not sure if this was a pilot or a miniseries, but “Shadow on the Land”, late 60s, with Marc Strange, Jackie Cooper, and Gene Hackman fighting a fascist government.
oops, I didn’t see the part about a tv show that was non-political, my mistake!!!
