2 Examples that come to my mind, The boys season 4(with the exception of some episodes like the final episode) and Ted (Series).

I understand that sometimes inserting politics is fun in the media and is kind of breaking the wall, but when it’s used in a way that throw away the storyline and transfer it almost to a speach instead of entertainment media it become very boring.

A clear example of it is the final episode in season 1 of the Ted series, the producers throw any story or comedy out of the window and just focused on gaining popularity points by trying to make the whole episode about politics.

I am not American, so maybe I don’t get the reason it’s being inserted in the media, but that is just my opinion.

    The Boys has been political since the very first second of S1E1. The whole premise is political.

      Theres a difference between S1 and S4. In S1, the writing was really good and in S4, the joke is how many times can we rape hugie? Also lets have him kill his dad for laughs

      I understand that, but the problem is inserting it without any relevance like in season 4.

        The antagonist of the season is the Vice President elected and you ask yourself why they involved politics on it?

        I haven’t finished watching season 4, so maybe I haven’t seen what you’re referring to. Which episode(s) have this irrelevant stuff?
