Downstream: Is Line Of Duty ‘Copaganda’?
Published 4 years, 11 months ago
Description
Between a fifth and a quarter of scripted network TV shows involve police or law enforcement. From Paul Blart: Mall Cop to A Touch of Frost, ‘copaganda’ has our pop culture bang to rights. What impact does the ubiquity of police dramas on our screens have on the real criminal justice system? And – mother of god! – has Line of Duty been feeding us pure ideology all this time? Ben Smoke and Caspar Salmon join Ash Sarkar to turn the tables and interrogate the world of fictional police.
