What We Think

“Dangerous Liaisons” steers clear of overt modern wokeness, sticking to classic intrigue and deep moral ambiguity. A non-woke period drama by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show primarily focuses on classic themes of seduction, betrayal, and power dynamics, with character motivations grounded in personal ambition rather than modern identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or narrative disruption for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the story involves amorality and challenges to traditional expectations, it does not explicitly undermine family, religion, or traditional masculinity for the sake of modern ideology. It remains in line with the cynical spirit of the original French novel.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents a morally ambiguous world with multiple perspectives. Traditional and alternative worldviews receive nuanced characterization instead of caricature, and ideological diversity is present throughout.
