a fucking insane amount of TV shows are set in Manhattan
which ok, it's a very interesting place to set a show

yeah it is a little much.
sometimes things are set in boston or DC, but rarely have for-reals location shots because they're actually filmed in vancouver or montreal.
setting in san francisco is pretty common because there are 1000s of stock shots of the golden gate bridge or that big hill whatever it is.

I don't think creating and talking about that type of dichotomy is necessarily unhelpful, but this guy sure chose some senselessly inflammatory category names.
that's sorta the rub, isn't it
there's a lot of folks in academia who talk a good game about the inflammatory powers of language
how you shouldn't say this
how this or that word has power, how saying a thing can bring a person down or demean someone or whatever
and i'm not saying they're wrong, per se
but that point rings a little hollow when they're completely unwilling to forsake any language that they know damn well can be very easily construed as inflammatory and outrageous in normal conversation and outside whatever specific contextualized meaning they've assigned it
there's a hypocrisy there i don't care for and find tiresome
either words are magic, or they are not
either things are offensive, or they are not
either you need to be mindful of the difference between what you intend and what you convey, or it doesn't matter
there are some academics who want to have it both ways and i think that's, in the words of Charles Dickens, the bullest of shit
Was this a general statement, or is it applicable to the posted image? If the latter, can you point to a particular phrase that you found needlessly inflammatory?

@BEAST!'s building is Oscorp in the new Spooderman movies, they just CG'd some forbidding black tower over the Hearst building
In the first Spooderman, when Peter Parker gets out of the subway and goes WHOA, LOOK AT THAT BUILDING, you can see the reflection of the Hearst Tower in the building behind him
a philandering family man old cop and brash nihilist young cop in louisiana
they fight crime
But do they?

There's a shot in The Day After Tomorrow where a giant tidal wave ROFLFucks the building I used to work in. I rewinded that scene like Kevin Costner in JFK and laughed forever

in terms of age he is a puppy
but just look at him for fucks sake
he grows like a weed
i could totally install this mod
god bless u pc gaming
pc gaming based god
What???
*sigh*
*slumps shoulders*
*Tosses pilot script for "Badges and Bagels" in the trash*
at least we're beyond the era of every show being set in LA
that was a dark time
what? seriously?
i feel like settings wise US TV shows have a 50-50 split between NYC and LA
Cop show in a cop show.
Cops going round making sure that people making cop shows aren't breaking the law.
and butts
Give me millions pls

IAD:NYC: The Series
Make it all sexy like Grey's Anatomy so there's another layer to Internal Affairs
brb writing new pilot!
Nope that won't end with a depressing twist ending at all. A retro indie game would never do that.
i can't think of anything set in LA right now
granted i don't watch much tv so maybe i am just ignant
but back in the 60s and 70s everything was set in LA
When I started watching Orphan Black I was like o great, sci fi cop show. Got it.
But its totally nooooot

They didn't have the budgets to shoot on location Will!

Not really the same thing. I was talking about high-concept shows.
Though I do agree that "cop show" is pretty lazy, but oddly prolific. People love TV cops.
that's usually what happens to black orphans.
yeah it is a little much.

The Wire is the only cop show anybody needs.

The Wire is not a cop show, The Wire is a people show where some of the people happen to cops!
If actual cop shows were more like The Wire, I would watch them. Or if they were set in Atlantis.
telling you again
do it

So would everyone. For two episodes.
That's the problem with high-concept.
Cindy has two missions in life
1) get everyone taking estrogen
2) get everyone watching the wire
not necessarily in that order
There's a shot in The Day After Tomorrow where a giant tidal wave ROFLFucks the building I used to work in. I rewinded that scene like Kevin Costner in JFK and laughed forever

Why's everything gotta be so serious
Maybe she could sell E on the streets of Baltimore and make a TV show about her experiences.
I don't think cis ladies really need to be taking estrogen.
Which is why I referenced it on the Gotham thing.
I don't think I need to see another non-continuity driven crime procedural ever again.
it is fanneh to me that this is the first thing u jump 2
CSI: York
Gruff northern police investigating stabbings near the minster and people hiding in the Yorvik Viking Museum.
