What We Think

'City Homicide' is a throwback to a time before full-blown wokeness invaded every corner of TV drama. It’s refreshingly straightforward, with diverse casting done for realism rather than ideology, and delivers grounded stories without constant moralizing. A safe pick for non-woke viewers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'City Homicide' sticks pretty closely to classic crime procedural formulas, focusing on character competence, investigation, and realistic team dynamics rather than modern identity-based messaging. Diversity is present but not forced, and characters are given actual flaws and growth arcs instead of just box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series generally respects traditional institutions like police work and family. Masculinity is portrayed in a typical, non-pathologized fashion, and there's no overt effort to lecture the audience on gender or religious issues. The cultural backdrop feels grounded and authentic to its setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show's police-centric worldview is pretty dominant, it doesn't mock or villainize traditional values. Dissent and debate appear naturally within the team, and alternative perspectives on justice or morality aren't just strawmen for ideological points.
