What We Think

Godfather of Harlem is a stylish, well-acted crime drama, but it’s hard to ignore its adherence to current ideological trends. The show’s deep focus on identity themes and its lack of alternative perspectives earn it a high woke score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series spotlights race relations and identity politics front and center, which sometimes overtakes more nuanced character arcs or story complexities. While based on real events, certain historical or narrative elements appear selected to emphasize modern social issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show often portrays traditional institutions like law enforcement, religion, and family through a critical or revisionist lens. Masculinity and legacy are explored but usually filtered through present-day sensibilities rather than traditional frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or more traditional perspectives are rarely given sincere attention, and the opposition is largely shown as corrupt or irredeemable. Most characters operate from a shared, contemporary view of race and justice, leaving little room for worldview diversity.
