While SVU and Wolf Dick in general seems very favourable to police image I could swear the ‘facts’ the get dropped about SA in that show was super eye opening to young me. Also every other episode Liv and Ell are constantly checking people who degrade or spout misinfo about victims (like SA victims who were sex workers, male SA victims etc).

Also by ‘woke’ standards, one of the leads is a woman, so it failed the woke test since its inception.

Yeah I didn’t want to use the term copaganda due to it feeling off topic from the OP but that video covers it. We rewatched it this year. The amount of times the show, while overtly asserting it’s bad, sort of subtlety implies all the times Stabler used excessive force (which is frequently) are somewhat justified is pretty disappointing.

He's only recently touched on L&O, but I highly recommend Skip Intro's entire copaganda series. YouTube playlist link but he's also on Nebula.
