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

Notorious is surprisingly restrained by today's standards. It sticks to genre conventions without getting swept up in heavy-handed identity politics or cultural lecturing. "Woke" elements are minimal, if you want drama without a lecture, this is comfortably non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Notorious is a fairly standard legal drama focused on media and criminal law. While there is some modern casting diversity, character arcs and storylines mostly serve the plot and professional stakes rather than pushing identity themes front and center. No obvious signs of narrative being sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show portrays ambition, morality, and professional life through a fairly conventional lens. It doesn't aggressively subvert family, masculinity, or traditional values. Gender dynamics are present but aren't used as a cudgel against masculinity or traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While there is some TV-land bias toward certain modern worldviews, Notorious isn't particularly heavy-handed. Traditional or dissenting perspectives aren't openly villainized or mocked, though pluralism could be more present. A mostly neutral show by current network TV standards.
