From the mind:

“No Offense” – A show about greater Manchester crimes involving the autistic and disabled community. The show revolves around the kidnapping and murders of autistic people and ropes comedy in with shining a light on the autistic community. The Channel 4 program had 2 seasons, was stopped in 2017 and was in the “police procedural”, “comedy” and “drama” genres.

This is called a hybrid genre from Steve Neale.

Picked up words/theories:

Gender performativity:
The show opposes the typical representation of women set forth by Judith Butlers gender performance theory. This is due to the fact that all the police officers within the series are females, and they are who cracks the case. This being a positive representation of women and a countertype to the typical view that women wait for men and are subordinate to them.

Bel Hooks:
Bel hooks talks of multiple disadvantages that effect races and people within the media. This can be seen within No Offense as it shows autistic, black and gay people who are seen to be in poor houses, with ruined walls, sharing rooms and selling their body for money to live.
