Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Prison Playbook' focuses on character-driven storytelling, with character traits rooted in merit, backstory, and personal growth rather than token identity factors. There is no sense that representation or ideological concerns override narrative consistency.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show depicts traditional values like family loyalty, friendship, and honor. Masculinity is explored through flawed, realistic male leads, not undermined or mocked. There’s no apparent subversion of culture, religion, or traditions to fit modern ideological molds.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While social issues are addressed, the show doesn’t demonize alternative viewpoints and presents a variety of perspectives with nuance. There’s room for disagreement and character complexity, rather than a bland, enforced consensus on social values.
