Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Between the Lines, as a 1992 British police procedural, maintains focus on compelling storytelling and character-driven drama without significant emphasis on identity politics or forced diversity. Characters' backgrounds serve narrative coherence rather than ideological signaling, so any modern 'woke' tendencies are notably absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays institutions like the police with a sense of moral complexity, but it does not deliberately undermine traditional values regarding family, gender, or heritage. Masculinity and authority are treated with nuance rather than subverted for modern ideologies.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There are some critical takes on policing, but dissenting views and institutional debates are portrayed with relative even-handedness. Alternative viewpoints exist within the narrative, and characters are not reduced to ideological mouthpieces.
