Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Our Story" (Bizim Hikaye) sticks to tried-and-true storytelling, focusing on family, poverty, and survival instead of tacking on trendy identity checkboxes. Characters are complex, and their struggles aren’t overshadowed by forced representation or gimmicks. It’s a straightforward drama with little emphasis on the modern ideologically-charged traits that dominate many recent shows.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show actually upholds classic themes of family, responsibility, sacrifice, and even touches on religion in a culturally respectful way. Traditional values run throughout the plot. Masculinity, femininity, and generational dynamics are depicted in a grounded fashion, with no obvious subversion for the sake of modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show is set in a tough environment and deals with gritty topics, it doesn’t mock or villainize traditional views. Alternative and conservative perspectives are depicted as normal, and there’s real disagreement and character debate, not ideological monologue.
