In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Psycho-Pass stands out as refreshingly non-woke, prioritizing story, philosophy, and character over identity politics. Its approach feels organic, not agenda-driven, making it a rare example of narrative integrity in the modern era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show's focus is on dystopian themes, complex morality, and psychological conflict. Characters are driven by roles and personal motivation rather than identity checkboxes. Representation is natural rather than shoehorned in, with ability and personality taking precedence over demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Psycho-Pass explores the dangers of a technocratic, conformist society without overtly undermining traditional values. There’s some critique of authority and law enforcement, but no direct attack on family, religion, or masculinity. The setting feels authentic rather than engineered for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series encourages philosophical debate. Characters represent a spectrum of ideas, about justice, freedom, and society, rather than parroting a single modern ideology. Alternative viewpoints are not dismissed out of hand or reduced to caricature.
