FX is a network stuffed with antiheroes. It has thrived on dramas that glorified corrupt cops ("The Shield"), unethical, oversexed plastic surgeons ("Nip/Tuck"), firemen who rape their wives and pressure their teenage daughters to have sex ("Rescue Me")

The Shield did not glorify the corrupt cops it portrayed.

I don't remember any wife getting raped in Rescue Me. And I absolutely love Archer. Sometimes BB just needs to relax.

Somehow the Left can never acknowledge the horrors that the Soviet Union visited upon its own people and the people in its puppet states.

The Left's long standing reluctance to condemn the horrors perpetrated by the Soviets should concern every American, to say the least.

Especially since they now control most of the levers of government, the dominant media & they educate our kids.

Actually I think the show looks really interesting. It only works if the characters are sympathetic, remember everyone is a hero in their own epic, nobody thinks they’re the bad guys. And it’s actually pretty well documented that a lot of Soviet leaders thought Reagan was crazy enough to drop the bomb on them, and there are some indications that was his goal.

Something else you'll never see in a Whollyred production:

A realistic dramatization of the NKVD's rubber-apron guys at work with their Tokarev pistols, eliminating the Polish officer corps one by one in underground, windowless rooms furnished with only a chair and a floor drain.

That is the real essence of Soviet Communism.
