What We Think

"Messiah" steers clear of contemporary woke trappings. Characterization, narrative, and its cultural setting are handled without the hallmarks of modern ideological intrusion. A solid example of non-woke crime storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Messiah" (2001) is a gritty British crime drama with a focus on procedural storytelling and traditional character development. Identity politics are not a central theme, and character traits are defined by personalities and skillsets, not by enforced diversity quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series deals with dark subject matter but doesn’t appear to set out to undermine family, religion, or masculinity in any overt way. Traditional roles and cultural backdrops remain intact, with most characters fitting realistic archetypes for the crime genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints and flawed – even morally ambiguous – characters are present. The show doesn’t push modern ideological conformity; rather, it wrestles with psychological and moral questions relevant to its context.
