SNL is a pretty good distillation of liberal democrats

That is a Sad one. I used to enjoy Stranger Things but I’ve now just lost interest in it. Not because of the politics but because it kind of feels stale and some of the characters are rather annoying.
Too many lib shows to say which is the “most”
Yea lol it was tough for me. I may have chosen This Is Us but i think its off air. Modern Family too but I like that one
I liked modern family, rather funny, but also it started to annoy me with their landlording, business owning, and money wasting being assumed to be parts of an average “modern family.”
yea like when Claire and Cam worked together on the house-flipping
Or the romanticism of jay’s nepotism for claire
Yea lol it’s pretty obvious that she didn’t know what she was doing in that company and it was supposed to be humanizing and endearing that she wanted to involve herself in nepotism
It always made me uncomfortable how Sofia Vergara’s character was seemingly supposed to be funny because she was a loud immigrant who occasionally makes mistakes speaking English. Weirdly racist undertone that never really goes away.
And they were trying to make the joke in a “woke” way.
The News
The Daily Show after they gave it to that Trevor Noah guy who’s just an unfunny corporate shill. That and whatever Steven Colbert is probably doing now.
Their youtube Channel is really sad, over the past 3 years they’ve made more segments about Trump than every other topic put together…
The man hasn’t been president since 2020.
Currently? Possibly Bill Maher. Ever? West Wing. Maybe Servant of the People the Zelenskyy tv show
That’s really hard to answer honestly, I would say any action movie with ''white lead fights terrorists/Arabs/Russians/random Eastern European gangsters/Mexican cartel etc to stop destruction of USA and ‘‘WoRlD’’. Basically your most average USA propaganda action movie, didn’t change since 1990s.
Name one that isn’t liberal
In terms of Western TV, I like the Walking Dead a lot and it’s yet to piss me off politically. There is a guy that LARPs as a King but he nor the people he “lords” over have too much illusion about the whole thing. He’s just a black zookeeper with a tiger who people looked up to, and he decided to “embrace the contradiction”. Goes onto take part in a revolution against a fascist Amerika-LARP police state that inherited all of the problems of the current Amerikan state, ruled by a literal landlord billionaire. Main(ish) character was a cop, but the show pretty actively shits on police. I dig it. I’ve seen all of TWD but am working on the spin-off, Fear the Walking dead. Both good politically so far, as well as just being really entertaining.
I’ve been tossing the idea around in my head of doing some sort of write-up of the revolutionary themes and motifs The Walking Dead shows us. Humans work best as collectives, children are the future, almost anyone can be rehabilitated. Killing is easy. It can solve problems. But the potential to be gained in not killing far outweighs whatever sense of temporary relief vengeance can grant - usually, not always. Like with child-killers and sexual abusers, they are scum to be wasted. Sorry, I could go on. I just love the shows.
Seconded, love TWD. I’m on the last few episodes of the series now. Watching the show I can’t help but think the creators are secretly communists.
I have that thought pretty regularly while watching, too! I definitely recommend Fear the Walking Dead afterwards if you find yourself distraught at not having any more TWD content. Different characters for the most part, but absolutely similar themes, with even more opaquely political criticism of the U.S.
I watched the first season when it was released but nothing since then. I liked it a lot, I’ll have to return to it if I ever need my walking dead fix when I’m done with the main show.
RWBY. Two of the main antagonistic forces are a minority rights group turned minority liberation movement, and an AutHoRitAriAn “dictator” who is orders of magnitude more sympathetic than the main cast. And then they act surprised that the fandom likes the “dictator” (he’s not actually a dictator, they just think military = bad) despite him being a military leader. That’s right. In a world where humanity is in a constant war for its survival, military bad. Do not get me started on the rights group. (they had a revolution before and won and are still somehow oppressed)

KMJS. Not only is it hot garbage, but also contains some of the weirdest shit imaginable.
Unralated but I loved your pfp
Bee and Puppycat. It’s the highest stage of Capitalism-Realism-Cozyism.
What’s it about? I looked up the name and the images appear to be a fairly standard kids stuff
I just remembered something, and I think it fits the topic. The show is called “Years and years”, it’s about some brits coping with a variety of shit - i.e. some populist psycho becoming a PM and running concentration camps for refugees (guess that never happened in Britain before huh), Russia invading Ukraine and subsequently genociding gay people (the show was made before 2022), poorly understood topic of body enhancement, etc. It ends with a Brave Female Protagonist exposing the aforementioned camps to the press, which results in the PM getting ousted and everything apparently going to normal. Somehow.
