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

Modus delivers an engaging mystery but can’t resist seasoning it with a fair dose of ‘woke’ messaging. Identity and progressive themes are woven throughout, sometimes at the expense of depth or balance.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Modus showcases some classic Scandi-noir storytelling, but it does place pronounced emphasis on identity politics within its casting and storyline choices, especially in later episodes. While the plot mostly remains intact, there are several moments where diversity seems prioritized over narrative complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show reinterprets traditional family and religious values and often casts skepticism on established institutions. Masculine roles are sometimes diminished or shown as problematic, aligning with trendy genre shifts. These elements undermine some foundational aspects in favor of more 'modern' takes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Modus leans into a worldview where progressive positions go almost entirely unchallenged. More traditional or dissenting perspectives are rarely portrayed sympathetically, and when they are included, it’s generally through unsympathetic characters or caricatures.
