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

New Blood nods to current diversity trends but largely avoids sacrificing story, traditions, or plurality for ideology. For a modern BBC show, it remains refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

New Blood puts two young, diverse leads at the forefront, but their identities generally serve the story and procedural context. While there’s a nod toward modern Britain’s diversity, the narrative doesn’t seem fundamentally compromised by ideology or excessive identity focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, responsibility, and integrity are generally respected. Masculinity and morality are not belittled, and religion or long-standing traditions aren't overtly subverted. The show handles these elements with a classic procedural tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints appear, and the show doesn't simply mock or villainize traditional stances. Characters show some pluralism and realistic debate, avoiding an echo chamber vibe. The ideological mix feels more natural than forced.
