Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show follows Diego Maradona as he coaches a struggling Mexican soccer team. Identity politics and forced representation are not front and center; the story is much more about the eccentric sports legend and local culture. It feels unburdened by woke narratives, focusing on performance and personality over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, including family, faith, masculinity, and local pride, are embraced rather than undermined. The show treats Maradona’s bravado as a central theme, never really mocking traditional masculine roles. There’s also genuine respect for Mexican traditions and religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized, nor are traditional perspectives made into caricature. Characters express a range of opinions, and the focus stays on football culture and Maradona’s unpredictable leadership, not social commentary.
