Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Bad and Crazy largely focuses on character-driven storytelling and classic buddy-cop tropes, with minimal emphasis on identity politics. Characters are chosen for their fit to the genre , flawed, layered, and relatable, rather than being defined mainly by diversity markers.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to suggest any attempt to undermine traditional values. Masculinity, justice, and camaraderie are central themes, with family and career motivations, rather than subverting established cultural norms or taking shots at tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show presents a range of perspectives, including turbulence in authority and morality. Villains are complex, not one-dimensional, and there are genuine debates between characters, this is a far cry from the usual ideological echo chamber seen elsewhere.
