What We Think

Dark Tourist mostly avoids overt 'woke' pitfalls. It’s too busy being curious about weird corners of the world to make much time for ideological soapboxing. A mostly non-woke travel docuseries.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dark Tourist centers on unusual travel and explores fringe cultures. It largely avoids emphasizing identity over compelling storytelling or the host's personal skill, sticking to genuine curiosity and reportage. There is minimal sign of forced casting or over-the-top ideological insertion into the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show occasionally touches on themes that challenge mainstream ideas and traditions, but it mostly presents them from a journalistic, observational angle. Traditional values or beliefs aren't uniformly undermined or ridiculed, if anything, the host expresses fascination for the unfamiliar without overt ideological commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While it leans into modern, open-minded perspectives, there is room for viewer interpretation. The show may frame oddities with a bemused tone, but it doesn't strictly villainize alternative worldviews or dissenting perspectives. The approach remains more explorative than preachy.
