What We Think

Law & Order: LA is about as non-woke as you can expect for early 2010s network TV. The show sticks to its genre roots, mostly avoiding forced representation or ideological preaching, and gives some airtime to diverse perspectives. For anybody tired of the current trend, this one won’t raise your blood pressure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Law & Order: LA mostly stuck to the procedural crime drama formula, focusing on individual cases, law enforcement, and legal maneuvering. Characters were generally written for their role and expertise, not primarily their identity. Some efforts at modern casting are present, but never overtly at the expense of realism or story depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show generally respects institutions like law enforcement and the justice system, rarely mocking traditional values. It doesn’t aggressively subvert gender roles or rewrite cultural traditions. Family, religion, and morality may not be focal points, but they're not treated with hostility or derision either.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Law & Order: LA is more focused on the moral ambiguity of crime and justice, with varied perspectives. While progressive views get some airtime, dissenting voices and flawed characters are present. There isn't a heavy-handed ideological bent – traditional and modern views both get space, even if subtly caricatured at times.
