What We Think

Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries dives headfirst into modern representation and progressive values, even when it clashes with the period backdrop. It’s entertaining, sure, but the woke elements are tough to overlook.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show centers on a strong, hyper-competent female lead who often outshines male counterparts. Representation is foregrounded, sometimes at the expense of historical realism for the late 1960s setting. It appears identity is a driving force for character depiction, which can feel a bit forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are heavily subverted; masculinity is often sidelined or used as comic relief. The lead's independence and dismissal of conventional family values signal a modern ideological lens over the period setting, which some viewers may find at odds with the era depicted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There's little space given to traditional or dissenting viewpoints. Most characters share a progressive outlook, and any alternative is usually shown as outdated or clueless, rather than three-dimensional. Pluralism and debate are noticeably lacking.
