What We Think

“Panic” is undeniably influenced by modern ideological trends but stops short of being a full-blown woke showcase. It sacrifices some storytelling depth for representation and a progressive slant, but it’s still recognizable as a traditional suspense series at heart.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Panic" leans into identity-focused storytelling, but mostly sticks to established thriller tropes. Some cast choices appear to tick diversity boxes rather than purely serving the story, and character arcs sometimes suffer for it. However, it's not as heavy-handed as some recent releases, giving it some points for narrative cohesion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There are moments where traditional notions of family, morality, and community are subverted or pushed aside. The show features rebellious youth challenging authority, with adults and small-town values often painted in a harsh light. Still, it doesn’t entirely vilify cultural foundations, leaving some space for nuance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show definitely skews toward a modern, progressive worldview, traditional opinions and characters are often sidelined or treated with suspicion. There’s little room for dissenting views, but it doesn’t make all ‘outsider’ characters one-dimensional villains, so it avoids maximum score territory.
