  • It’s also interesting to include Luther in there. Luther is the embodiment of an anti-hero, and is constantly getting into trouble for disregarding due process. He’s certainly not lauded as the hero in the end.

    I’m not familiar with too many of the other shows portrayed, that just stood out to me. I don’t doubt that there are some instances where “copaganda” plays into it, but I think it’s more likely that due process is kind of boring to show on screen, it’s just more entertaining to have the main character do whatever it takes to solve the case. And really good cop shows explore the negatives of doing so just as much as any supposed positives.
