lol, the age of total homogeneity is underway
the age of endless simulation
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Considering how most of the new shows on ITV are a parade of "gritty" cop shows with the same basic structure and handful of archetypes, I'm surprised they hadn't started firing up the treat printer already.
Prompt: a cop who crossed the line and is trying to get the bad guy but the pencil pushers and their regulations won't let him do his job. He has a partner that is a political novelty that he trades banter with.
Pay me.
There is a bad cop secretly undermining his efforts to catch the killer for reasons that will slowly be teased out until you stop caring.
B-plot about the cop's shitty relationship with his child that is slipping into doing a crime.
Set it in rural Yorkshire, the spectre of mass police violence during the miner's strike will vaguely haunt the background but never be properly addressed. The townsfolk distrust the police because they have something to hide, no other reason.
There may be a fridged wife or an estranged teenage daughter that the camera can't stop
at, and the grizzled dudebro cop will put his family back together with racism-coded violence!
