In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'Identity' remains a largely non-woke procedural by modern standards. It focuses on competence, teamwork, and engaging cases, steering clear of the heavy ideological scripting that plagues newer shows. Those averse to ideology-first storytelling will find it refreshingly straightforward.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Identity' as a 2010 procedural show generally prioritizes detective work and character competence over heavy-handed identity politics. Representation is present but not at the expense of logical storytelling or merit within the FBI context, with little evidence of forced ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show maintains traditional tropes around teamwork, authority, and personal responsibility. Family, religion, and masculinity are portrayed in a neutral or fairly traditional manner. There’s no clear subversion or revisionist take on core cultural values typical of more recent productions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is some focus on the nuances of identity theft, but nothing suggests an overwhelmingly one-sided worldview. Characters hold a range of views, and no one ideology dominates. Dissent, when it appears, is treated as a realistic workplace conflict, not villainized.
