    It’s so strange to live in a universe where the most accurate depiction of the CIA in fiction is in “Archer”.

    Oh man, I can’t wait for the inevitable crossover movie where all of our favorite cops come together to foil generic arab terrorist group #524’s evil plot to murder every police officer in America. Just imagine, the rookie NCIS agent finally learns that waiting for a warrant is how the terrorists win just in time to figure out that China was the real bad guy behind the terrorism all along!

      My boomer mom loves spy shit and unironically thinks it’s what the CIA and FBI are like. They’re totally the good guys and totally aren’t the source of heroin and cocaine in the US and totally don’t overthrow democracies around the world who get in the way of American business interests.

        It’s really absurd how they’ve managed to curate such an image. They don’t do things for the good of the people. They don’t even do awesome things. I remember when I was a kid I really liked watching shows about The Marines and the SAS and all their daring tales - that is of course also propaganda but it’s framed in terms of a classic and irresistible patriotic myth. It’s man to man. It’s primal. It’s tense. It’s guys who look like they could be your cool uncle, charismatically telling tall tales about how they escaped an an impossible situation (usually with superior firepower, comms, and training, but they tend to leave that bit out)

        The CIA? Just plotting. Getting other guys to do the dirty work. Killing people who run newspapers and unions. Writing propaganda. Blah blah blah - however the fuck did the MI5 and CIA get this reputation for being suave underground resistance fighters?

        Is that the one where an agent does a crime against another agent who’s underage? I guess that’s what’s coming if Trump is able to undo age restrictions on working.

    This feels like a new low. Usually they dance around portraying the CIA in TV shows by calling the protagonist “ex-CIA” or using a fake agency or something else. I guess that Jack Ryan show was basically about the CIA right?

      There is definitely a change in propaganda. I’m old and I think over the decades it’s gotten to be absurdly blatant. Now lots of American tv series don’t even pretend to care about the national sovereignty of other nations. It’s just a given the CIA, etc can spy on anybody, kidnap anybody, kill anybody - anywhere. America is entitled to do it.

      Police state fiction will get weird under Trump. I won’t be surprised if somebody like Taylor Sheridan has a series where the highly telegenic lead character in a real or pretend police state org says “We gotta protect the US against foreign enemies and domestic enemies too…” And the main plotline is ridiculous and it involves an implausible group of enemies teaming up against America. The group will be some combination of China, “the cartels”, Antifa, and American pols who aren’t described directly as democrats but clearly are. The lead character will say the pols are “fighting against the president and seeking to overturn what’s right.”

    I’ve seen a lot of the modern Copaganda and holy shit is it awful. Never heard of this one but just seeing the looks on these dumb people’s faces tells me enough. Maybe someone who’s seeing newer shit can tell me, but as far as I’m concerned the dumbest one of them all is still criminal minds.

        I’ve always heard the wire put up as “prestige television”, is it worth watching if you can’t stomach most cop characters?

          None of the cops in it are portrayed as morally good, at most competent but corrupt. The sympathetic characters are the gang members and their victims. It takes the side of drugs in the war on drugs.

          edit: Also it’s definitely worth the watch in terms of prestige dramas. It’s right below The Leftovers and on par with The Sopranos for me. Incredibly good writing and character development.
