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

Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders is far from what most would label 'woke.' It prioritizes classic procedural drama over identity-based themes, respecting cultural foundations and avoiding overt ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders generally sticks to a formulaic, merit-driven procedural style. Characters are developed based on skills and experience rather than as vehicles for identity politics, with little forced representation. There’s some diversity, but it's integrated in a way that serves the story, not an ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely presents families, law enforcement, and American values in a positive light. Traditional roles and Western cultural norms are generally respected, if sometimes simplified for an international setting. Any subversion is mild and not central to the show’s themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the series does occasionally caricature foreign customs, it still allows some diversity of viewpoint and doesn't heavily villainize traditional values. There’s minor stereotyping, but little evidence of a modern ideological monoculture dominating the narrative.
