Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a factual true crime documentary, the show sticks to recounting the events and does not appear to force representation or inject modern identity politics into the narrative. The focus remains on the criminal investigation, with little deviation from the core subject matter.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is some examination of the grittier, morally complex aspects of 1970s-80s New York, which naturally includes discussions of family, vice, and religion. However, the show does not overtly attack traditional values or institutions, merely presenting them in the context of the time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints on the era, such as conservative or traditional takes on law, order, and morality, aren't deeply explored, but the show doesn't seem to villainize them either. The focus is more on the story than ideological messaging.
