Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Class of Lies’ keeps its focus squarely on suspenseful mystery and legal drama, with character motivations deriving from personal history and ambition rather than identity. Representation choices feel organic, without obvious preference or tokenism. It appears that the narrative integrity remains intact for the genre.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show deals with corruption, social hierarchy, and justice, but does not overtly undermine traditional values like family, morality, or masculinity. If anything, it spotlights flaws within the system rather than attacking cultural underpinnings. Overall, it feels relatively respectful to foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it features some critical views of institutions, ‘Class of Lies’ gives multiple sides their due and refrains from cartoonish villainization of traditional or alternative perspectives. Ideological debate is present, suggesting the writers weren’t pushing a monotone agenda.
