“I have been streaming a lot of foreign cop shows”
There’s a lot of good stuff there, though the British shows are also getting woke. Wokeness is also starting to creep into the Scandinavian cop shows.
Even without the wokeness, American TV would struggle to find unexplored territory to exploit, so rather than produce “Hawaii 5-0” under another title, they just reboot the show with the original title and have a guaranteed audience. “Starsky & Hutch” and “Miami Vice” remakes are also rumored to be in the works.
There is tons of unexplored territory and many dozens of talented screenwriters, directors and producers out there.
They have all been muzzled.
The field of science fiction—just as one example—is almost totally unexplored compared to the amazing and wonderful history of novels and short stories.
My bookcases are filled with incredible tales of all different kinds—moving, inspirational, brilliant, wildly creative.
Hollywood’s wounds are totally self-inflicted. Then insist on being stupid jerks.
I only watch the older brit and Scandinavian shows...except for endeavour. The Russian shows are not woke.
