Code M2020

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Code M is definitely playing to the current trend of prioritizing identity politics and challenging traditional roles, often at the expense of character complexity and balanced discussion. It’s high on the woke scale but could have pushed things even further if it wanted a top score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Code M places strong emphasis on its lead, a female army lawyer taking center stage, sometimes at the expense of more nuanced character development or plot realism. Representation, while important, occasionally feels like the priority over organic storytelling, leading to a few forced moments to highlight identity over merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like the army and family are occasionally depicted as flawed or problematic, and gender roles are clearly subverted. Masculine authority figures are often challenged, while female and minority characters are consistently shown as more principled, with less nuance for the 'old guard.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those that don’t match the show’s progressive angle, are mostly presented as antagonistic or regressive. There’s little room for balanced debate between traditional values and modern critique, making the ideological range quite narrow.
