What We Think

Cannes Confidential manages to sidestep most of the usual woke pitfalls. While there's some nod to modern identity trends, the show prioritizes plot and classic detective dynamics over ideology. It's a refreshingly non-woke entry among recent TV fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on its detective plot, with diverse leads, but doesn't seem to sacrifice narrative for messaging. There is some emphasis on character identity, but not to a heavy-handed degree. Overall, story and character development come first, with only light nods toward modern trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and morality are present but not mocked or subverted. The male and female leads have complementary roles, with neither being diminished or excessively elevated. There's a mild update to gender dynamics, but it stays within genre boundaries.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't go out of its way to villainize alternative perspectives or push a single worldview. There is a basic modern inclusivity, but little overt lecturing or caricatured depiction of 'traditional' views. It lands closer to standard entertainment than ideological messaging.
