A first-year surgical resident faced-off with a disapproving Chief of Surgery and other residents over her religious objection to performing an abortion in the winter premiere episode of ABC's The Good Doctor. Instead of standing up for her beliefs, she caved when it became apparent her decision would affect her residency, then admitted she had an abortion she didn't regret and…

Considering 2020’s hatred of Christianity, it makes sense that 2021 begins with a totally illiterate perspective of Christianity. HBO’s Spanish drama 30 Coins brings back the classic myth of the Gospel of Judas to poison our screens once again. Much like The Da Vinci Code, this story never seems to die.

Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned. As promised, in January 10’s episode, “In Justice,” ABC's The Rookie, revealed a new “polarizing” character, veteran officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh) and his hit-you-over-the-head racial profiling. The episode also featured interactions between titular character Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and James Murray (Arjay Smith), a local black…

NBC's This Is Us has had pro-life episodes during its long run. In previous episodes, characters have welcomed unplanned pregnancies. It also routinely gives a nuanced and life-affirming perspective on adoption.

2020 was a dumpster fire in so many ways, not least of which was the cultural rot of network television and streaming service "entertainment." Hollywood pushed pedophilia, anti-Christian bigotry, Trump Derangement Syndrome and hateful BLM rhetoric, among other things.

Right from the season three premiere, ABC’s The Rookie aims to get political on policing.

Looks like CBS’s NCIS: New Orleans will spend its 2021 doubling down on false liberal propaganda. While the show already bent over backwards to claim police officers are killing young black men last month, the latest episode somehow went further to appease a “burn the establishment” progressive and her mostly “peaceful” crowd.

Christmas may be over, but the hatred for Christianity still lives on in television. HBO’s anti-religious series His Dark Materials brings on (hopefully) 2020’s final salute to atheism with a stand against the “deceit, intolerance, and prejudice” of God in the name of “understanding, truth, and acceptance.” Only a show like this could think atheists exclusively hold those virtues.

2020 has been a year-long series of grievances, and TV was no exception. Although COVID ended a lot of business, leftist Hollywood has been in full force shoving its agenda down our throats. In honor of Festivus on December 23, we’ve once again gathered a list of 2020 TV grievances to air as well as feats of strength and Festivus miracles.

On Friday, December 11, Amazon Prime premiered The Wilds, a new series in which a self-proclaimed feminist leaves teenage girls abandoned on an island to fend for themselves, Lord of the Flies-style. The feminist, a scientist named Gretchen Klein, believes that she can create a "gynotopia" free of "male domination."

All season Devils has pushed liberal narratives about how corrupt, immoral and evil investment bankers are. In the final episode, it embraced another liberal narrative of celebrating a central bank bailout.

This season, CBS's woke courtroom drama All Rise has pushed the narrative of "systemic" cop killers and other BLM talking points. This week, the show took the Black Lives Matter propaganda to a new level by having the victims of BLM's destruction defend the protests.

Following his iconic role as Walter White in Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has returned to television to produce and star in Showtime’s Your Honor. From the start, the miniseries was quite melodramatic, but by December 13’s episode “Part Two,” it’s clear show sees itself as having a role in addressing the treatment of minorities and the poor. 

It's no secret how a majority of shows are toeing the Black Lives Matter line this season. Even worse, most police shows are following suit by insulting their own profession. CBS’s NCIS: New Orleans joins the ever-growing list by featuring a teen protester for BLM with the slogan signs to prove it.
