This is my Off Topic Forum! And you're gonna tell me what the overrated show is?
Not. Fucking. Likely.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

he was supposed to be Michael Corleone type, but the way he walked like a stiff board was always hilarious
The worst part of Vic Mackey… was the hypocrisy.
The Shield has probably one of the best first seasons and last seasons of any show ever made. And one of the strongest endings of any show or novel really. I would avoid spoilers and basically just binge watch the show from start to finish when you get a chance.
Was it? Because you can find legalized drug markets in every single city now in America. Fentanyl has made things like homelessness and open air drug markets pretty much normalized in any major inner city. Shoplifting is not even prosecuted anymore in most large American cities. If anything the Hamsterdam storyline is more grounded than what we have now.
Did Hamersterdam have a vending machine with free needles and condoms in it? No. That was Vegas, San Francisco, and NYC in real life. And now many more cities have vending machines that contain 'harm reduction devices'. If they had put that in Hamsterdam everyone would have cried "this show is so fucking unrealistic".
I'm personally holding out for the suicide booths from Futurama.
HBO and other faggy media companies are all about 'shock value' endings and subverting expectations. Like how Game of Thrones turned into nothing but stupid plot twists where characters would do crazy unexpected things just to surprise the audience of retards doing mass react videos in a crowded dive bar.
Sopranos did this a million times better. Tony and Richie are gearing up for the big war. Richie is planning the hit on Tony. He punches Janice in the face. She kills hims instead. Shocking moment that no one could have predicted. On repeat viewings becomes one of the funniest moments on the show. "We buried him....with pinecones and birds chirping all around". "You did!!?!".
You're right, In today's climate Hamsterdam isn't so ridiculous after all.
I couldn't agree with you more about the shield. Fantastic ending and start
Spoiler for those that have not watched.
They shield did miss a few beats here and there like Dutch being a deviant of some sort. That went nowhere
I've never seen the show.
Sometimes shows try to be too factually accurate
Side note on The Shield. The nigger actor who played the closet fag character was a total psycho in real life. He married a track athlete and got into an argument with her one night. And told her "How about you try running to Heaven!". Then shot her in the legs several times killing her. He calls 911 himself and says "I just shot my wife a bunch of times". Cops show up, see his wife massacred and dead, and decide to let him go and don't even arrest him until a day later when the DA reads the reports and realizes how retarded the police were.
There was one clip of two detectives examining a crime scene, and it's just them alternating saying "fuck" in different intonations for like 5 minutes. And people will defend this shit
I searched for use of the word "white" in this thread

That's what it always was
It's one of those things enjoyed by the type of person who wants you to watch that video on their phone - stop everything for 5 minutes to watch it on a wobbly screen in their hand that isn't held still, as they stare at you waiting for their dopamine in your reaction.
I couldn't get past the first episode. It seemed like it was going to be a slog. I've given it a couple of tries.
Okay Im a dick sucker for The Wire and yeah this scene is fucking terrible and overrated as shit

It’s a show about an urban city and you’re surprised it has lots of black people? Every season goes further into how corrupt and broken the system is — giving you a look into many different parts of the system and how it all works (or doesn’t work) together.
I’m a disgusting racist and even I enjoyed this show. Inability to give something a real shot is a sign of stupidity by the way.
