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

‘In From the Cold’ pushes modern ideological themes front and center, often at the expense of nuanced storytelling or genuine plurality. It checks almost every ‘woke’ box in the current TV landscape.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show frequently highlights characters’ identities (race, sexuality, gender) over deeper personality or skill-based development. The protagonist, a bisexual Russian spy mother, is sometimes written as unreasonably skilled with minimal learning curve or consequence, falling into the ‘flawless heroine’ trap.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures and masculine roles are subverted, with motherhood reframed through action-hero motifs and men relegated to less impactful roles. The series largely ignores or reinterprets cultural or historical contexts in favor of topical ideological framing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting worldviews are rare; traditional perspectives are either absent or presented as villainous. Everyone seems to share the same progressive values, with little space for debate or real ideological diversity, just a bit too on-the-nose for true narrative tension.
