What We Think

"Clean Sweep" feels modern, with an emphasis on female empowerment and a genre twist on family narratives. While it's not the wokest show on TV, it leans in that direction by refocusing classic crime drama through a current social lens.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Clean Sweep" centers a female lead in a crime thriller setup. While the story draws on personal drama and family secrets, some viewers might feel the focus on identity over traditional character arcs edges toward tokenism. However, the protagonist is portrayed with complexity and significant flaws, keeping full "Mary Sue" moments at bay.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series does lean into subverting traditional gender roles with a mother/wife as the hunted criminal. Familiar family and marriage tropes are present, but framed through modern reinterpretation that may seem to challenge older values. Religion and heritage do not play a large role nor are they overtly mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't overtly mocked, though the series offers little in the way of genuine traditionalist perspectives. The focus remains on the protagonist's internal struggles and trauma, avoiding heavy-handed political messaging but still reflecting modern sensibilities and assumptions.
