What We Think

"Dollar" is about as non-woke as modern TV gets. It tells a local story, avoids forced representation or heavy-handed messaging, and lets characters be shaped by their personalities and the Middle Eastern context, not by ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on a straightforward story involving a cash hunt, with characters chosen more for their fit in the Lebanese setting than box-checking. There appears to be little evidence that identity politics overtake the actual plot or character depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, masculinity, and local culture are presented without mockery or revisionism. The show leans into local customs and Middle Eastern social norms, steering clear from Hollywood-style subversions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series offers a range of personalities, motivations, and even moral ambiguities, without shoehorning a single ideological agenda. There's no apparent villainization of tradition or dissenting views.
