What We Think

"CHAOS" is refreshingly non-woke, focused on clever spy antics and entertaining teamwork rather than agenda-driven messaging. Its score reflects a commitment to entertainment over identity politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"CHAOS" is primarily a light-hearted procedural about CIA operatives, emphasizing clever plotting and team chemistry over identity politics. Character traits like race, gender, or sexuality are not forced; merit and personality take precedence. In our view, the show mostly resists the urge to shoehorn in 'woke' archetypes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional camaraderie, competitiveness, and a balance of masculine and feminine energies are central to the team dynamic. The show doesn’t seem to openly mock traditional values, and gender roles are played relatively straight, eschewing overt revisionism or attacks on family, patriotism, or faith.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show presents the CIA and American values in a somewhat comedic light, alternative worldviews are not heavily villainized or reduced to caricatures. Pluralism and debate between characters is present. The series ultimately keeps the ideological temperature low, sticking to genre staples over modern ideological messaging.
