Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr Inbetween tells its story straight, focusing on character, grit, and moral ambiguity. There’s no strong sense that identity politics override personality or plot, with characters cast for fit and realism. The show largely resists box-ticking or forced representation, keeping its narrative sharp and grounded.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is front and center, with themes of family, loyalty, and morality handled in an unflinching, often old-school manner. The show doesn’t go out of its way to undermine these values, instead, it portrays them with nuance amidst a criminal backdrop. No woke subversion here, just classic tough-guy drama.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Mr Inbetween has its ironies, it never goes for cheap shots at traditional values or dissenters. If anything, it leans into rougher truths. Alternative perspectives aren’t villainized, the show allows for complexity without preaching, and pluralism feels organic, not imposed.
