In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Decker is a rare breed these days, a show that revels in, rather than subverts, classic action hero tropes. Its satire targets the genre, not social issues, leaving it refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Decker is essentially a parody of action and spy tropes, sticking closely to traditional masculine archetypes. Casting and character choices seem driven by humor and satire, not identity politics, with no noticeable forced representation or heavy-handed messaging interrupting the absurd plots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show comically exaggerates traditional American values, never undermining foundational concepts like family, masculinity, or patriotism, in fact, it gleefully lampoons excesses while still celebrating those ideals for laughs, never seriously critiquing them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Given its satirical nature, Decker pokes fun at all sides rather than villainizing traditional viewpoints. There’s no preachy consensus, and 'opposing' views are exaggerated for comedy instead of to indoctrinate or mock sincerely held beliefs.
