Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Close to Home' is a procedural drama focused on crime, law, and realistic character dynamics. Identity factors rarely overshadow the narrative or character development, and casting appears to prioritize fit and merit. Ideological messaging is minimal, keeping the story grounded and straightforward.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely respects traditional values, with a protagonist who balances career and family. Religion, family, and morality are presented as positive or at least normal parts of life. Masculinity is not especially targeted or mocked, and classic roles are not aggressively subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there’s an overall respect for the justice system and classic American values, some episodes might lean toward familiar TV tropes. Still, alternative or traditional worldviews are not villainized, and there’s room for a variety of perspectives in the show’s cases.
