MINDHUNTER2017

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

MINDHUNTER largely avoids contemporary woke pitfalls, grounding its story in character depth and period realism rather than modern ideology. A refreshingly non-woke offering by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

MINDHUNTER is primarily focused on psychological profiling and criminal investigation, sticking closely to its narrative without unnecessary identity-driven characterization. There’s very little evidence of forced representation or unrealistic perfection in its leads; characters are flawed and compelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show occasionally challenges certain cultural norms but does so more in the context of period authenticity rather than modern ideological subversion. Masculinity and traditional roles are depicted with nuance, not outright derision or revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show is anchored in 1970s attitudes and occasionally brings in modern perspectives via its psychology themes, it still allows for real moral complexity, with no monolithic take on right and wrong.
