Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Scam 1992 is firmly rooted in its time and place, focusing on detailed character work and real events rather than ticking diversity boxes. Identity politics and forced representation are not in the spotlight; the story genuinely revolves around personalities, ambition, and the world of finance.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show criticizes financial corruption, it avoids modern ideological groupthink. Multiple viewpoints are presented, including those from journalists, regulators, and businessmen. No woke monoculture here, just nuanced takes on greed, morality, and ambition.
