What We Think

For its era, "Dark Angel" holds up as a mostly non-woke action drama, with a strong female lead that feels earned rather than mandated. Its approach is moderately edgy but doesn’t hit the high-octane woke marks of recent productions.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Dark Angel" features a female lead in a gritty, post-apocalyptic setting, the narrative generally focuses on her survival skills and personal growth rather than reducing her to an identity-first figure. Representation seems more organic and integrated into the plot, especially for the time period.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show explores breakup of social order and highlights individualism, but it does not overtly undermine traditional values. There’s some subversion of gender roles, but not to a preachy or excessive degree, and the approach is more nuanced than what we see in modern TV.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews do exist, with different factions and moral ambiguities depicted across characters. While the protagonist is unconventional, the show doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives. There’s some early-2000s edge, but not a uniform ideological bent.
