What We Think

McMafia largely sidesteps the modern woke playbook, sticking to a grounded story with complex, flawed characters. If you like your dramas non-woke and focused on the human condition, this show is refreshingly free of heavy-handed ideological lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

McMafia keeps its focus on crime, family, and power rather than shoehorning in identity politics or forced representation. Characters are largely developed based on their motives and actions, not overt identity checklists. If there's any hint of modern trends, it's minimal and never breaks the story’s immersion. Refreshing, in my view.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it’s a modern show, McMafia doesn’t go out of its way to attack traditional masculinity, family, or cultural heritage. There’s some critique of the international elite, but family bonds remain a central motivator. No relentless gender-flipping or cultural revisionism to trip over here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series shows corruption and crime as problems that transcend nationality, race, or ideology, bad actors come in all forms. While the show has its worldview, it doesn’t outright villainize more traditional characters or perspectives. There’s moral ambiguity, but not monoculture.
