What We Think

'Kerala Crime Files' is a breath of fresh, non-woke air in a landscape choked by agenda-driven dramas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what we can see, 'Kerala Crime Files' is a straightforward crime procedural, focusing on crime investigation without overtly emphasizing identity politics or sacrificing plot for any ideological message. Characters appear to be cast based on merit within the story, and the narrative is rooted in realism rather than 'woke' tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show seems to respect local culture and traditions, portraying law enforcement and family dynamics in a grounded and authentic way. There is no visible effort to undermine religion, gender roles, or established cultural norms. In many ways, it almost feels like a throwback to more traditional storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological monoculture, alternative viewpoints are not mocked or villainized, and there’s a decent mix of perspectives from the characters. The focus stays on the crime and investigation, not social messaging. There may be some modern touches, but nothing that screams 'woke echo chamber.'
