ABC’s The Mayor has been leaning to the left more with each episode to the point where they openly advocate for left-leaning politicians. When that’s not possible, I guess they go for the next best thing: left-leaning supporters. This week, they remind us of the important and still totally relevant role of the union in society.

The latest episode of Netflix’s Chelsea aired October 27 and it was quite a look into the liberal mind. In “Dinner Party: My American Experience”, Chelsea Handler uses an occasional format – that of a poolside dinner party at her home. Usually the guests are four liberals and one token conservative. This one is not different.

CBS’s Madam Secretary is trying to convince us of so many things that might be true in the liberal world but not in the real one. First, it was about the massive damage that can be caused by fake news. Then, it was about the “truly heroic” status of the non-essential government employee. This week, we tackle the “virtually non-existent” crime rate of refugees.

HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm is based on Larry David insulting everyone around him. In the October 29 episode titled “Thank You for Your Service,” David targets an Afghanistan war veteran. It went too far, even for Larry David.

We’re finally at the season finale for HBO’s The Deuce, and, as expected, the only joy I had was knowing I can spend a year never seeing it again. As far as finales go, you won’t be seeing anything new you couldn’t already get from seven episodes of sex, sex, and more sex with a dash of gay agenda thrown in for good measure.

Like the e-mails your aunt forwards you, Will & Grace continues it's steep descent into irrelevancy. On the October 26 episode, "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying," we are treated to more ham-fisted one-liners that might play well among the cast, crew, and their friends in the bubble, but are just silly to those of us they count on to actually, you know, watch the show. 

Cultural appropriation hysteria is an interplanetary phenomenon, in Fox’s The Orville. On Thursday’s episode, “Majority Rule,” Alara, an alien crewmember of the Orville, attempts to blend in on a new planet by covering her alien head markings with a random hat she finds. Unfortunately for her, the hat she puts on belongs to the (fabricated) Kelvic culture. A Kelvic man demands she remove the hat…

Comedy Central’s Broad City is known for its outrageously inappropriate humor. But Wednesday, October 26th’s episode, “Witches,” went beyond outrageous into extremely bizarre and depraved. One thing is clear after watching this shockingly vulgar episode…Broad City does not care about or welcome conservative viewers.

And here I thought USA’s Mr. Robot aired out all of its Trump grievances in the season premiere. Unfortunately, it looks like we’re doomed to see the 45th president a lot more than I expected this season with his second appearance on the show. When it comes to this plot, you know that’s not a good thing.

SEAL Team on CBS is starting to become a reliably pro-American, pro-military show in a television landscape that doesn't give us much to enjoy. In the October 25 episode "Collapse," the drama portrayed American service members respectfully as those doing good in the world and liberals as, well, ridiculous.

ABC’s Designated Survivor seems to be on a roll with its liberal bias lately. This is the third week in a row where the show attempted to stuff in as much propaganda as it can in an hour. After tackling racism in capitalism and amnesty, the most recent episode is prepared to tackle the real enemy of the people: Republicans.

BET’s Tales is described as a scripted anthology series of "song stories," that uses hip-hop song lyrics to create mini movies. The October 24 episode titled “99 Problems” is based on the lyrics of a Jay-Z song and boy does it have problems!

With storylines about gender-curious gerbils and killer clowns, American Horror Story: Cult has been pretty off-the-wall but, in the October 24 episode "Winter of Our Discontent," they managed to go off the deep end. The episode had everything, from a Nazi cop, to an incestual threesome, to a woman bleeding to death from an abortion.

Not wanting to be outdone by its fellow DC program Supergirl, CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has apparently decided to jump on the political train by introducing a new character to their cast: a Muslim hactivist from a dystopian future. If you think that’s a load of political posturing, then you would be right.
