Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Based on available information, 'Sexy Beast' appears primarily focused on character complexity and crime drama elements, not on foregrounding identity or ideology. The story seems to value grit and character motivation over box-ticking. Forced representation or overwrought identity themes are not prominent or distracting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show seems to stick to classic themes of loyalty, crime, and morality, there’s little evidence of overt attacks on family, religion, or tradition. Masculinity isn't mocked, but rather depicted in the context of gritty criminal underworld tropes, keeping to cultural expectations for this genre.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no clear push for a uniform progressive worldview. The series offers morally ambiguous characters and scenarios, leaving room for debate and interpretation rather than sermonizing or portraying only one worldview as valid.
