What We Think

Perry Mason (2020) updates a classic with modern themes and some identity-driven arcs. While it doesn’t clobber viewers with ideology, the 'woke' influence is present enough to feel like a 2020s remake rather than an authentic period piece.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Perry Mason (2020) largely keeps its focus on compelling detective work and character depth. However, there are clear instances where modern identity themes take precedence, and some storylines feel adjusted to highlight diversity or align with contemporary issues rather than natural story progression.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show reinterprets certain aspects of religion, morality, and period social attitudes through a distinctly modern lens. Masculine archetypes are given more nuance, which sometimes ventures into subverting traditional roles. This isn’t egregiously heavy-handed, but it’s noticeable.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While historical realism offers a range of viewpoints, the show tends to cast traditional or conservative perspectives as relics, without much sincerity or development. Most aligned characters fit modern sensibilities, with little on-screen sympathy for dissenting ideas.
