What We Think

If only Hollywood remembered how to make shows like this! Blackport is largely immune to modern woke trends, preferring authentic storytelling and genuine character drama over box-ticking activism. A refreshingly non-woke series.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blackport focuses primarily on plot and character dynamics rooted in the Icelandic fishing quota conflict. Identity politics take a back seat, with casting and story decisions appearing to prioritize realism and local culture rather than modern ideological trends. Diversity for the sake of diversity is not prominent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is steeped in Icelandic culture, respecting local traditions, family, and community struggles during societal shifts. It doesn't seek to undermine core cultural values, instead, it highlights the complexity and resilience of these institutions under changing circumstances.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show does explore some critiques of greed and power, it doesn't devolve into caricature or mockery of traditional viewpoints. Multiple perspectives are featured, and both heroism and villainy are shown across the social spectrum, resulting in a fair balance of worldviews.
