Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Line of Duty is primarily focused on tightly plotted police investigations, with character drama and intrigue at the forefront rather than overt identity politics. While some later seasons introduce more diverse characters, it rarely feels forced or shoehorned in just for the sake of ticking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series generally respects police work, accountability, and traditional values around duty and integrity. Masculinity, family, and professionalism are central themes, with little attempt to undermine these pillars for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is a diversity of worldviews presented, ranging from corrupt to honorable officers and a mix of male and female characters with significant flaws. Alternative perspectives are not simply villainized; in-fighting and debate are core to the show's tension.
