How this season is filed

Filed by Lana Reyes · Red Carpet Reality

Handheld ride-alongs set to a reggae hook: policing as weekly spectacle, no narrator required. The format that taught reality TV how to chase, cuff, and cut. Controversial by design — vérité as entertainment, neighborhoods as set, and a chorus that still follows every squad-car clip. View it as craft and as argument; it was always both.
