What We Think

'Merhamet' is about as non-woke as you’ll find from the last decade, putting human stories, cultural values, and character depth ahead of modern ideological trends. A breath of fresh, pre-woke air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Merhamet' centers around character-driven stories that focus on struggles related to class, ambition, and family. Characters are well-rounded and defined primarily by their backgrounds and choices, not modern identity politics. There’s little sign of forced representation or contemporary ideological priorities overtaking the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally upholds cultural traditions, family values, and presents religion as a natural part of its characters’ lives. Gender roles reflect the realities of Turkish society rather than forcefully subverting them to fit global trends, making it relatively non-woke by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative views and moral complexities are given space, with no heavy-handed villainization of traditional perspectives. Characters often face tough ethical choices, and their struggle for a better life is depicted without preaching or dismissing cultural norms.
