For those who aren't familiar with Kommisar/Commisario Rex, it's about a German Shepherd who helps solve major crimes (generally, but not always, murder). The Austrian series is excellent, and was also very entertaining. The Italian series, about a decade later, verges more into comedy, but is also very good.

And then we have... The Canuck/Newfie version. Which sucks most of the humour and "fun" out of the concept, and brings in huge amounts of wokeness.

I could tolerate the BLM/racial profiling/"cops bad" schtick, and the "muh women are all victims" crap, but the tranny shit is just too much. But this interview makes it pretty clear that all of that was always the intention with this series - they just waited until they had a loyal audience, after the first season or so, before starting to beat said audience over the head with "the message"...

Here's one such "gem" of a quote from the interview:

Q) What is new this season on “Hudson & Rex?”

A) All I can say is it is more. More of what people love, but we push the limits even further. Diesel, our star, is learning all kinds of new behaviors and things that are wowing audiences. I think our familiarity with him and especially his relationship with Johnny is fantastic. It just gets deeper and allows us to take the stories even further. We tackle bigger and broader issues; some that are a little more topical and timelier with things that are happening in the headlines. I think we have an episode coming up on human trafficking. We just had an episode dealing with transgender issues. Now that we have our feet sort of firmly planted, we know what type of show we have and are able to push the envelope even more and reach into peoples’ hearts and tug on their heartstrings a little more. At least that’s the hope.
