I get where you're coming from, but I don't think it's fascist because it doesn't treat the omnipresent surveillance as a good thing - it's not really cheerleading the use of the surveillance, I think it's presented as something that's troubling but that's also an inevitable development the modern national security state. I don't think it's any more fascist than, say, Batman. Which, I realize, is not really the best endorsement of something, but it's not distinctively fascist, I guess.

I just find the entire premise questionable -- but then again I find most crime shows to be a little propagandist.

It doesn't help that these shows' disdain for personal liberties has grown more and more obvious over the years. I'm having a real hard time holding on to shows I used to love.

well luckily the savoriness of the machine's ability DOES come under scrutiny sometimes, and is almost ALWAYS questioned so far in the second season.

[mekkio]

Would it help to say that the "Machine" that is watching everyone may be alive? That is, an A.I. that can choose who to watch and not to watch? Like the ultimate spy. And one of the main plots is the heroes, particularly the maker, trying to keep the "Machine" out of the hands of those who would exploit it. (In the second season, they show he has almost a father/child relationship with it.)

Law and Order: SVU completely lost my respect after a couple of extremely propaganda-heavy episodes. I'm getting so sick of crime TV lately.

I loathed SVU (and someone else in my family was watching it). There was one episode where they were trying to arrest someone in Witness Protection, and the Marshals detained them, and they got so huffy about their rights being violated...

I lost it when they were trying to find some way to prosecute a pedophile who had NEVER HURT A CHILD. He turned himself in because he was afraid of what he might do, but he literally had not committed a single crime.

And yet we were supposed to root for the detectives who were trying to lock him up in prison. What is this, Minority Report?
