What We Think

Jake and the Fatman is a relic of its era, narrative-driven, grounded, and refreshingly free from the ideological trappings that dominate modern TV. A classic, straightforward crime show with minimal woke influence.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jake and the Fatman, produced in the late '80s, keeps its focus on crime and character-driven storytelling. Character traits like race or gender are not forced into the foreground, and the narrative remains king. There's no notable emphasis on identity politics or social engineering common in modern programming.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional elements, respect for authority, masculine leads, and a clear moral framework, are very much on display. There’s no evidence of undermining family values, religion, or masculinity. The show reflects pre-woke cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show centers on classic good-versus-evil tropes, it doesn’t overtly caricature dissenting views, nor does it push a singular modern ideology. Different perspectives are present, albeit within the genre's usual confines.
