What We Think

Baghdad Central is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, offering a story that puts narrative, realism, and multi-faceted perspectives above trendy ideological messaging. It’s far from the identity-driven norm in much recent media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Baghdad Central primarily focuses on strong narrative and character development. Diverse representation is natural to the subject matter, a post-invasion Iraq seen through local and Western eyes, rather than forced. Plots and character arcs are driven by context, not modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show generally respects Iraqi cultural norms, family, and religion, showing a range of perspectives. While it critiques aspects of both Western and Middle Eastern societies, it avoids simple moralizing or undermining cultural foundations for virtue signaling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, U.S., British, and Iraqi views all get attention, and dissenters aren't simply villainized. Although Western powers are sometimes depicted critically, it's nuanced and believable for the setting, not one-sided propaganda.
