Do you know of any articles/posts discussing the fact that the majority of shows with a diverse cast are primarily police dramas? Brooklyn 99, The Rookie, L.A.’s Finest etc.
Hmmmmm so on the one hand the television industry is a bit of a hellscape but honestly I would question this assertion like yes the correlation is frustrating but just because police shows often feature actors of color, doesn’t mean that most shows featuring POC are police shows. Like okay off the top of my head, here are a few:
Harlem on Prime
2. Run The Burbs
3. Quantum Leap
4. Abbott Elementary
5. Interview With The Vampire
Honorable mention to NBC’s Found starring Shanola Hampton, imo the show took a little bit to find it’s footing and it’s only not a police show on a technicality but the core cast has done a solid job in their first season and they got picked up for a second season, so I’ll recommend it on this list
Anyone reading this feel free to send in an ask to shout out your favorite show featuring a majority non-white cast and ideally not a police show, always happy to boost 📨

#show recs#@atopcat fwiw i def remember some commentary articles addressing copaganda = poc casts when b99 was ending#but idk if there’s comprehensive / broad view articles yet about the police show = diverse cast correlation#also there is something to be said for venturing outside the mainstream but also the mainstream has options#like those first two might be niche ish but i think ? quantum leap and abbott and iwtv are all pretty solidly mainstream#but yeah like i said. always happy to boost this audience’s recs for shows or movies (esp featuring majority poc given the blog topic lol)
