Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is structured as a true-crime docuseries focusing on the personal story of Michaella McCollum and her drug smuggling in Ibiza. It emphasizes the consequences of her actions, rather than shoehorning identity politics or forced representation into the narrative. Character focus is natural, aligned with real events.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little overt subversion of traditional institutions here. While the show does portray themes like crime, regret, and redemption, it doesn’t actively undermine family, religion, or masculinity, nor does it go out of its way to revise cultural values for modern ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present via legal, personal, and societal angles surrounding criminal justice and redemption. The show doesn't turn traditional perspectives into strawmen, and there's no heavy-handed moral lecturing on contemporary identity issues.
