I'd be interested to see a show that has nationalistic/right-wing assumptions. Any good examples?

Every military show or show about terrorists? The Six is a Seal Team 6 show. Anne Heche just had a show called The Brave that got cancelled. The Last Ship is military science fiction.

I admit that it's going to be very difficult to find an explicit white nationalist show, but military/terrorist paranoid-style shows are a dime a dozen.

SEAL Team Six is best known for a raid during the Obama administration. Modern progressives seem to have less of a problem with the military than old school leftists (and less of a focus, politically, on foreign policy) hence simple glorification of the military seem pretty centrist.

I would say 24 is an authoritarian wet dream. It's a show where torture is the preferred way to get information quick and it works 100% of the time.
