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

Derrick is practically a time capsule of non-woke television: clear-cut values, no forced diversity, and a refreshing lack of modern ideological meddling. It’s a straightforward police procedural that lets the story, not social agendas, remain at center stage.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on strong storytelling, realism, and nuanced character development, with little to no emphasis on identity or modern ideological themes. Characters are complex and chosen for fit within the world, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, duty, and morality are shown in a straightforward manner. Masculinity is not demonized, and the series does not attempt to modernize or subvert cultural frameworks for its time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show generally portrays traditional views, it does so in a non-caricatured fashion. Alternative perspectives may be less explored, but they're not mocked or villainized. The focus remains on crime-solving, not ideology.
