Well, I used to watch Hill Street Blues, and NYPD Blue, (Blue until they made it too much about Jimmy Smits' and Delaney's personal life...gack)...
Anyway, they seemed pretty straightforward, BUT that was before the real politicization of Hollyweird, IMHO.
Plus, NO ONE (except crooks) is against the police, but a lot of people are against this war...so I am afraid the temptation to propagandize may be too great...
Are you going to watch it?
We're going to watch and see what it's all about. If it's political in a way that angers us, we'll stop.
And I know what you mean about NYPD Blue there for a while :-)
