Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Bad Blood" keeps its focus on crime, family, and personal ambition. Characters are written to fit the gritty world of organized crime, with no evidence of identity-based casting or forced ideological detours. Storylines are driven by loyalty, betrayal, and power struggles, not box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series strongly emphasizes traditional values like family loyalty, personal honor, and ambition, even within a criminal context. Masculinity and traditional roles are portrayed authentically without subversion or mockery. There is little to no overt undermining of cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

"Bad Blood" is refreshingly pluralistic: perspectives range from law enforcement to mobsters, and even if lawbreakers are often center stage, the show avoids easy caricatures. There's no evidence the show forces one worldview and almost no trace of contemporary ideological buzzwords.
