What We Think

'Copper' keeps its woke tendencies in check, putting story and setting before ideology. Despite some diverse casting and progressive nods, it stays largely rooted in narrative grit and historical complexity. Reasonably non-woke for its era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While 'Copper' features a diverse cast for a period drama, including strong Black and female characters, the narrative seldom feels hijacked by modern ideology. Characters are flawed and generally fit the gritty, realistic setting of 1860s New York. Identity is present but not the story’s main focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series highlights period-appropriate themes: religion, family, masculinity, and the complications of morality in a rough era. Strong male and female characters exist, but classic roles are more nuanced than subverted. 'Copper' doesn’t seem desperate to rewrite history for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show’s morality is messy. Multiple perspectives, from abolitionists to corrupt officials, get space, and traditional beliefs aren’t simply skewered. While certain progressive ideas slip through, ideological uniformity is noticeably absent for a modern TV show.
