What We Think

For a recent production, Paris Police 1900 scores surprisingly low on the woke-o-meter. While there are a handful of nods to modern attitudes, the show largely prioritizes rich storytelling and historical texture over ideological box-ticking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Paris Police 1900 largely remains grounded in its period setting, focusing on complex intrigue and ambition rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics. While there are a few moments where contemporary sensibilities poke through, the characters feel authentic, and representation is not overly forced or out of place for the era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show’s depiction of religion, family, and tradition is gritty but historically grounded. There’s no heavy-handed attempt to pathologize masculinity or reframe the culture as uniquely toxic. However, some characters and institutions are presented with a cynical touch, reflecting modern skepticism but stopping short of outright revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a bit of modern flavor in its perception of morality and prejudice, but the series does present a range of worldviews and layered antagonists. Traditional views exist alongside others, and dissent isn’t portrayed only through cartoonish bigots. It feels relatively pluralistic, by today’s standards, anyway.
