Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show, being a Dutch crime thriller, appears focused on plot, atmosphere, and character-driven mystery. It doesn't seem to insert identity politics or use representation as a narrative crutch. Character background and drama are primarily rooted in the thriller genre rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence that the series seeks to undermine traditional values, family structures, or religion. Instead, the plot revolves around secrets, suspense, and local intrigue, keeping the focus on story rather than political messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative includes various perspectives dictated by the mystery format. While it may not go out of its way to champion alternative worldviews, it certainly doesn’t lampoon traditional values or dissenting characters.
