But just like you, I'm really taken by this show, particularly in terms of the way they tackle contemporary cultural and political issues. I guess I'm willing to let them slide on the small missteps since I have such high respect for the show. I'm amazed that the show hasn't been branded as "anti-American". I'm guessing that this is because they do such a good job of telling both sides of the story so while there is quite a bit that can be interpreted as anti-American, there's just as much that can be seen as pro-American.
