The story plots are often quite preachy. The episode that showed ICE agents rounding up children for deportation, using race as the criteria, hit on a theme that is quite popular among the PC crowd, with the added twist showing ICE agents posting to a secret racist internet site. I know such sites have been found among border patrol and perhaps ICE, too, but it is not all-pervasive.
Another show highlighted the psychological consequences of school shootings. A valid subject, but presented in a preachy, unrealistic way. The act that the main character is "Native American" is a subplot frequently worked into the story lines.
That pretty much sums up many of the plots. The writers seem to go out of their way to highlight social justice issues. If it were not for the fact that the shows are on different networks, I would swear that the writers are swapping ideas with the Fox show "Deputy".
