What We Think

"Secret State" is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on old-school intrigue rather than modern identity politics or heavy-handed ideological messaging. It’s a throwback to when storytelling, not virtue-signaling, was king.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Secret State" stays focused on political intrigue and corruption, prioritizing plot, realism, and character depth over modern identity talking points. Casting appears based on merit rather than forced diversity, and there's no emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over capability.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions, government, family, and morality, are treated as complex but not inherently negative or outdated. The series doesn't rely on undermining masculinity or historic British culture, but sticks to critique of corporate and political elites.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the critique of corporations is strong, the series offers a range of views and avoids caricaturing traditional or dissenting perspectives. There’s debate, moral complexity, and multi-dimensional characters, not just modern ideology presented as gospel.
