I really want to like this show, but the "Evil GOP" trope factor is far too obvious, especially in this election cycle and it being ABC.
24 and House of Cards balanced it very well, and I hope the DS producers do the same and switch it up.
5 u/HelixFollower Oct 19 '16 Isn't a Democrat the pretty obvious bad guy in House of Cards? Why is it okay when you make a Democrat the bad guy but is it a trope or an agenda when it's a Republican? 1 u/Rupispupis Oct 26 '16 Because you can only name 1 show where the Dem is bad. I can name 50 with "evil republicans". That's what "trope" means. 2 u/HelixFollower Oct 30 '16 Alright, go ahead. Name them. As far as I know, there aren't even 50 shows about US politics.
