Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Franklin & Bash largely focuses on quirky, character-driven legal antics rather than pushing identity politics. Casting choices seem based more on chemistry and humor than on checking demographic boxes. Only minor nods to diversity; main characters are typical Hollywood leads.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't go out of its way to undermine traditional values. Masculinity, friendship, and professional ambition are treated with a playful, non-ideological tone. If anything, the irreverence is about legal culture, not broader cultural institutions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't villainized or mocked; the primary focus is on lighthearted banter and clever legal maneuvering. There’s no major push for any ideological message, woke or otherwise, just some good old-fashioned TV fun.
