Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Luther: The Fallen Sun" continues to center on Idris Elba’s complex detective, it primarily emphasizes character over identity. Casting choices remain mostly consistent with the series’ roots and avoid heavy-handed focus on identity politics. Any ideological elements are secondary to the crime narrative itself.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of grit, masculinity, and personal moral codes are respected rather than lampooned. The film mostly avoids undermining family, religion, or traditional gender roles, treating them with neutrality or respect rather than outright subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Although modern attitudes toward policing and social issues are present, the film doesn’t mock or villainize alternative viewpoints. Characters are depicted with various motivations, and moral conflicts remain character-driven instead of purely ideological.
