Oh no, another TV show with political underpinnings! How ever will the conservatives survive this horror? Of course. They'll do it by coming to IMDB in droves to leave 1 star reviews.
Deputy isn't a great show. It's your basic lone wolf cop show with a hero who talks in a gruff voice and always somehow has a 5 o'clock shadow. He wears cowboy hats and sunglasses and drives an old pickup.
But unlike other similar shows, Deputy doesn't cater to its demographic's politics. The show does introduce more left-leaning political topics here and there, most notably in the first episode. Unfortunately, the writers do it with all the subtlety of a semi trailer full of explosives running into a brick wall. I'm not sure why writing has gotten so simplistic lately, but it will sometimes hit you over the head. For example, in the last episode the hero made a reference to God and was sure to say "Him... or Her." It just didn't fit with the character at all and felt very blatant. It's as if the writing room is full of people who don't understand that characters don't have to share their same convictions.
