As much as I disagreed with the post and thought it was a needless derail bait besides, I didn't actually think that was a moderation-worthy post. (Edit: Oh, wasn't moderated. Okay, that makes sense.)

As for the topic question itself. Yeah, a bit. Definitely pandemic-related stuff with how people would behave in such a scenario (which extends to zombie outbreaks, etc. of course). Same with some portrayals of police - though I've always been a bit off-put by how championed some aspects of the justice system have been there even well before that - particularly lawyer/prosecutor centered shows like obviously illegal means to pursue suspects being taken by protagonists and treated as heroic and ignoring that in reality those actions would either get the evidence thrown out and probably get the culprit off or by concealing they acted illegally which is really bad too! And it's clear you're meant to root for them! And despise any character who raises those points as though they're the corrupt ones and obstructing justice! I mean, a lot of times they absolve the protagonists regardless by having the culprit do something in response that would condemn them anyway (and because it's TV the protagonists are always right about the guilt of the perpetrator in the end so it doesn't result in false convictions like these kind of tactics would likely do in real life) but it's always bothered me.
