A Confession2019

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A Confession is a refreshingly non-woke crime drama. It sticks tightly to its true-crime roots, foregoes identity-driven distractions, and portrays both authority and family with nuance and respect. In an era of box-ticking, this series largely avoids the usual pitfalls.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

A Confession focuses on the true story of a police investigation, prioritizing realism, character depth, and plot over identity politics. There’s minimal evidence of diversity being forced at the expense of the storyline or characters being given unrealistic treatment due to their backgrounds.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, responsibility, and law enforcement are handled with respect, and traditional roles are presented authentically. The show does not undermine cultural or religious values but rather highlights the complexities of morality and justice without obvious revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents a range of viewpoints (including police protocols, family grief, and community response) without turning traditional perspectives into caricatures. There is no strong evidence of ideological uniformity; genuine debate about ethics and procedure is present.
