What We Think

'As the Crow Flies' stays mostly non-woke, focusing on character-driven storytelling and workplace machinations rather than identity politics or culture war themes. If you’re tired of Hollywood “woke-washing,” this Turkish drama offers a welcome break.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show largely centers on character ambition, intrigue, and newsroom dynamics, with casting and story decisions seeming based on narrative fit rather than box-ticking. Diverse characters are present but developed with depth and flaws, avoiding the usual 'woke' pitfalls like forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like hard work, ambition, and hierarchical respect are explored without heavy-handed subversion of gender roles, family, or Turkish cultural values. The series mostly respects conventional morals within its drama-filled environment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the media world is depicted as flawed, the show leaves room for multiple viewpoints and does not villainize tradition or dissent. There's drama, but little sign of a strict, one-note ideological message dominating the discourse.
