Was a great show and I never rooted for Mackey or his gang of thugs, but I wonder if some people would feel it was glorifying corrupt cops.

It wouldn't even make it past the pitch meeting phase.

I thought it was alright when I watched through it, but I personally didn't feel that it deserved all of the acclaim it received.

Isnt it based on the Rampart Division?

i feel like it would be treated more as exposing than glorifying, similar to how it was when it originally ran.

but who knows lol, I could see potential outrage about it

Lol no

It was never that good. TV was just comparatively far worse at the time. TV didn't really get good until Breaking Bad and post-Rome. It didn't become what it is today until GOT and Walking Dead blew up.
