What We Think

"Fenris" keeps its woke levels relatively low by prioritizing atmosphere and story over political messaging. The show respects Nordic culture, offers well-rounded characters, and doesn't ride the ideological monoculture train. It’s a rare non-woke Norwegian thriller in today’s climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Fenris" introduces a few characters with diverse backgrounds, it largely maintains a focus on plot, atmosphere, and suspense over identity politics. Representation feels more organic than forced, and character motivations are mostly believable, no one feels like they're there simply to check a demographic box.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional Norwegian settings and family dynamics drive the story without overt subversion or mockery of cultural heritage. Masculinity, religion, and cultural traditions aren't portrayed as outdated or villainous. If anything, the show leans more into preserving local color and folklore than rewriting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Although the series occasionally gestures at environmental or social themes, it doesn't club viewers over the head with ideology. Alternative perspectives aren't vilified; the story allows moral ambiguity and debate. There is no pervasive ideological groupthink taking over the narrative.
