What We Think

Golden Boy stands out as a largely non-woke crime drama. It prioritizes storytelling and character over forced ideology or tokenism. If you're wary of modern social preaching dominating your TV, this is a refreshingly classic procedural.

Not Woke

What is this?

Golden Boy is primarily a standard police procedural focused on ambition, morality, and the challenges of law enforcement. Characters are rooted in their roles and backgrounds, with identity factors present but not forced. The narrative focuses more on crime-solving and personal ambition than heavy-handed ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series respects law enforcement, explores family, loyalty, and ambition, and presents masculine and feminine characters within fairly traditional boundaries. While contemporary, it doesn't undermine traditional values or cultural norms in any significant way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present through various character dynamics, rookies, veterans, idealists, cynics. There's no obvious mocking of tradition or villainization of dissent. The show is more interested in moral ambiguity than preaching a specific message.
