One of my insane TV pitches is for Shonda Rhimes to start her own anti-copaganda show in the same universe as her Grey’s Anatomy and Station-19 (hospital and fire department, respectively).

Love her but she does a lot of convenient hand-waving as to what role cops play in the world her characters live in; other than a few one-off instances you would think cops live in a whole different dimension there.

With the prevalence of copaganda, Rhimes has an incredible opportunity, in my opinion, to investigate and expose the injustices of the police system using the world she has created on a national stage.

Now might be a good opportunity for something along those lines, but you'd still need a lot of favors to make an anti copaganda show, even for established producers. The biggest advantage for such a show is how angry a lot of black women are right now, including in that industry.

The election has lost the Democratic party a lot of faith from those who threw more support behind them than anyone. They are on thin ice now, and local failures from law enforcement will have political consequences that they never could've imagined before. There is more motivation than ever to rock the boat now that the ship is on the rocks.
