What We Think

Complications is a rare modern show that doesn't bow to the usual Hollywood woke formula. Story, not identity, drives the narrative, and traditional values get a fair shake. A refreshingly non-woke entry for its era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Complications generally puts character and story first, focusing on a white male doctor driven to extreme choices. There's little sign of casting for the sake of identity politics or over-written flawless diverse leads; most characters are nuanced, flawed, and believable.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely respects traditional cultural elements, portraying themes like family, duty, and sacrifice without heavy-handed moralizing or subversion of traditional roles. Masculinity, religion, and morality aren't demonized or mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's a balance of perspectives throughout the show, and it doesn't turn dissenting or traditional worldviews into outright villains or caricatures. Moral complexities are handled in a way that allows for real debate and pluralism.
