What We Think

Framed! A Sicilian Murder Mystery is a refreshingly non-woke comedy that sticks to classic themes and avoids checking ideological boxes. It’s more interested in old-fashioned slapstick than preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Framed! A Sicilian Murder Mystery largely sticks to classic comedy and murder mystery tropes. Characters serve the plot, with little emphasis on identity politics or box-ticking. It seems more interested in farce than forced messaging, and diverse casting, where present, feels organic within the Sicilian setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans into traditional Italian/Sicilian family dynamics and humor. Religion, masculinity, and culture are presented as part of the background fabric, not objects for ridicule or revisionism. Any subversion comes across strictly as lighthearted banter, not a soapbox.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't villainized, and dissent isn't reduced to over-the-top caricature. The setting and plot don't hammer social issues or enforce a single worldview, it's too busy pursuing zany hijinks to lecture its audience.
