What We Think

'Dark Money' is primarily a serious drama about real-world problems, not an ideological showcase. It keeps its focus on human drama, largely resisting the more overtly 'woke' storytelling tropes seen elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'Dark Money' focuses on a family's struggle with abuse fallout in the entertainment industry. The story puts character nuance and realism above pushing identity politics, with little evidence that identity traits are prioritized over genuine character arcs. Forced representation and flawless characters are not prominent issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show deals with a sensitive moral crisis and critiques parts of the media industry, it largely avoids mocking or undermining family, faith, or traditional values. The main conflict centers on the family’s values and struggles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present in the show and the central conflict is not driven by ideological conformity. There’s an exploration of complex moral questions rather than cartoonish villainization of traditional perspectives.
