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

Mirzapur is refreshingly non-woke, thriving on morally complex, rough-edged storytelling rather than serving as a platform for modern ideological talking points. It’s a straight shot of old-school grit in a world that’s getting a bit too preachy elsewhere.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mirzapur focuses on corrupt power, family rivalries, and criminal intrigue without shoehorning in modern identity politics. Character arcs and casting prioritize narrative tension and realism over forced representation or box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, masculine roles, and moral ambiguity are at the forefront. The show doesn’t subvert cultural foundations for the sake of modern values; if anything, it leans into gritty, sometimes problematic traditions rather than undermining them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Mirzapur incorporates multiple worldviews, showing moral gray zones and flawed characters on all sides. Traditional, progressive, and nihilistic perspectives are present, with no single ideology prevailing as ‘correct.’
