Mark Harmon’s NCIS, Tom Selleck’sBlue Bloods Have One DamningConnection That Makes Both ShowsBastions of White Privilege

Of the numerous television series that have populated our modern viewing experience, a majority pertain to crime/legal drama and police procedurals like Suits, NCIS, and Blue Bloods. Given the rise of the genre, it is not surprising that audiences are more than entertained by the relentless barrage of do-gooders on TV and their representation of episodic justice served up on a silver platter.

Besides the feel-good purpose of these television shows, projects like Law & Order: Svu and Chicago P.D. have no basis or authority in perpetuating a false portrayal of society being constantly served and protected by the finest and bravest. The actual stats are far less damning than what people have now come to believe, courtesy of the increased rate of crime procedurals on TV.
