What We Think

APB stands out as a surprisingly non-woke procedural in a TV landscape obsessed with identity. While not a rallying cry for traditionalism, it sticks to its story about technology and policing without ideological overreach. A rare breed by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

APB largely prioritizes narrative and high-tech drama over identity politics. Character traits like race and gender aren't highlighted at the expense of storytelling. While there’s some nod to trendy representation, it doesn’t dominate the plot or character development in a heavy-handed way.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like policing, innovation, and institutional reform are emphasized, not mocked. The show spotlights entrepreneurship and smart policing, though it doesn’t go out of its way to promote traditional faith or family life. There’s little evidence of the usual woke revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show broadly supports law enforcement and practical tech solutions, offering some diversity of viewpoints on policing and justice. Occasionally, it flirts with 'the system is broken' themes, but overall, there’s no strong push for monoculture or demonization of dissent.
