What We Think

"Missing" plays it pretty straight. There’s some focus on empowered women, but ideology never overtakes the plot or worldview. It’s a relic from before Hollywood went all-in on modern wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Missing" centers on women with psychic abilities assisting law enforcement. While this female-led premise highlights diversity, it mainly emphasizes competence and teamwork rather than identity politics. Character backgrounds do not generally overshadow narrative progression, so any forced representation feels limited.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and morality themes appear largely intact, with little push to undermine them. The show does elevate female protagonists, but not at the expense of belittling masculinity or religion. Gender roles are stretched but not aggressively subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series stays close to mainstream values of justice and empathy, with only occasional one-note villains who represent regressive views. There’s not much evidence of outright villainization or complete absence of debate, making it relatively balanced for its time.
