I agree with you. I think East New York is likely to be a copaganda show. It's on CBS, which is a major network that has a history of producing shows that glorify the police. And the show's creator, William M. Finkelstein, is also the creator of Blue Bloods, which is another show that has been criticized for its portrayal of the police.
I think it's important to be critical of shows like East New York. These shows can have a real impact on how people view the police. If people see the police portrayed as always being right and justified, it can make it more difficult for them to hold the police accountable when they make mistakes.
I think it's important to have shows that explore the complexities of the police and the criminal justice system. Shows that show the good and the bad, and that don't just whitewash the police. I hope that one day we'll see more shows like that.
