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

Akıncı stands out as an unapologetically non-woke, traditional action series that respects its own cultural foundations. Viewers tired of ideological overreach from Hollywood will find this a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely focuses on traditional hero tropes with characters chosen more for fit within a Turkish superhero context than for box-checking identity categories. The narrative seems to prioritize story over ideology, with character flaws and development present.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

"Akıncı" actually leans heavily into Turkish cultural heritage and values, upholding family, history, and morality instead of deconstructing them. Masculine traits are presented as virtues rather than liabilities, and traditions are generally respected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series does not overtly promote a singular ideological worldview and represents Turkish cultural norms positively. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked but respected, making the show refreshingly pluralistic for today’s TV landscape.
