NCIS: Sydney2023

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

NCIS: Sydney delivers signature procedural drama but with a heavy dose of current social messaging, often prioritizing representation and ideology over organic storytelling or balanced perspectives. If you’re tired of the same “woke” template dominating new TV, this one will feel all too familiar.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

NCIS: Sydney appears to follow a recent trend in prioritizing diverse casting above organic storytelling. At times, the focus on identity feels shoehorned in, with character backstories and capabilities occasionally taking a back seat to highlighting diversity, which may pull viewers out of the core narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, especially in terms of gender roles and depictions of authority, are often subverted, male competence is sometimes downplayed, while female leads are portrayed as virtually flawless. Family and traditional law enforcement ethos are rarely explored with sincerity but rather seen through a modern critical lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's worldview feels almost singular, alternative viewpoints and more traditional characters are either marginalized or depicted as outdated obstacles to progress. There’s little room for pluralism or legitimate debate; the script generally presumes a modern moral consensus.
