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

Série Noire is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, focusing on complicated characters and storytelling rather than checking ideological boxes. Any subversive elements are more about dark comedy than pushing a rigid agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Série Noire primarily focuses on character-driven narratives, with little evidence that casting or character arcs are determined by identity politics. The show’s central theme is the personal and professional failings of its flawed male leads, realism and merit drive the story rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series portrays masculinity and adult relationships through a gritty, messy lens, but it doesn't engage in overt mockery of traditional values. There’s some subversive dark humor, but no systematic rewriting of cultural or historical norms to push a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, and the show doesn’t present a clear ideological party line. Characters disagree and struggle in convincing, non-caricatured ways, allowing for a reasonable amount of worldview diversity without heavy-handed messaging.
