What We Think

‘National Treasure’ largely avoids the hallmarks of heavy-handed wokeness, focusing on character depth, tough questions, and a relatively nuanced approach. It’s far more complex than most recent ‘issue-driven’ dramas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on a high-profile sexual assault case, focusing on mature themes and strong character development without significant forced representation. It appears to prioritize realism and emotional complexity rather than modern identity politics, so narrative integrity holds up well.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Some viewers might feel that the show challenges certain traditional norms regarding masculinity and public perception of celebrities, but it primarily explores the moral ambiguity and personal consequences of the accusations, not attacking core societal institutions or traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series portrays multiple perspectives, victim, accused, family, and the public, without reducing alternative worldviews to cartoons. While it leans a bit toward modern critiques of power, it allows for considerable nuance and moral debate.
