1. La omnipresencia y el propósito de los dramas policiales (Procedurals).
El género de los procedimientos policiales es uno de los más populares, ofreciendo al espectador la emoción de la investigación. Sin embargo, existe un debate constante sobre si estas series funcionan como "copaganda", refrescando la empatía del público hacia la policía, o si logran ofrecer una crítica genuina.
- This is a great secondary comment i first saw in pynchons vineland these shows exist mainly to refresh our empathy for police.
- I actually love police procedurals. I love the investigative nature of them, especially if i, as the viewer, am figuring it out with the cops. Highandlow noiralley.
- I can honestly say how to get away with murder is the last drama melodrama? i watched that i enjoyed. And i binged it all in 2020 during the first uk lockdown. My mother watches horrible murder dramas which either have a whimsical detective or are a police procedural.
2. Críticas a la institución: Corrupción, brutalidad y fallas sistémicas.
Una parte significativa de los comentarios se centra en la representación de la policía como corrupta, incompetente o violenta. Desde documentales que exponen fallas reales hasta películas animadas que critican el sistema, la desconfianza hacia las fuerzas del orden es un tema central.
- Zootopia 2 establishing that the police are indeed brainless drones that do the bidding of the rich and powerful was pretty baller tbh.
- The police usually get a bad rep for corruption and abuse of power, and in the uk even for misogynistic and racist behaviour. Blue lights is a heartwarming, action packed series covering the life of peelers in an area in belfast, that tells you otherwise.
- The whole point of the show is that no-one is perfect, police forces are fundamentally corrupt in a way that compromises even good coppers, and that evil men arent genius masterminds but pathetic, venal, corruptible little men.
3. Comedias policiales: El legado de Police Squad! y Police Academy.
Las parodias y comedias sobre la policía, especialmente las creadas por el equipo Zucker, Abrahams y Zucker (ZAZ), son altamente valoradas por su humor denso y absurdo, contrastando con la seriedad de los procedimentales. Estas obras son consideradas clásicos de la comedia.
- If you havent watched the few episodes of police squad, i can highly recommend them. Possibly more funny.
- I love the naked gun films. Hell, i love police squad! and can make a strong argument that this type of humor works better in a tv format than film.
- The original police academy series consisted of seven theatrical releases which is 6-12 more movies than you would need to watch to become an actual police officer.
