What We Think

"Shot in the Dark" is blissfully non-woke. It’s all about adrenaline, hustle, and a good old-fashioned Los Angeles chase, not diversity checklists or shoehorned messaging. A rare reminder of how straightforward reality TV can be.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Shot in the Dark" follows freelance news videographers in Los Angeles, focusing on the rush, danger, and gritty reality of chasing breaking stories. Identity politics and forced representation aren't front and center; characters are chosen for their profession, and the narrative sticks to the job at hand rather than ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show does not concern itself with issues of masculinity, family, religion, or morality in the conventional sense. The focus is firmly on the high-stakes world of freelance journalism with little to no subversion of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no major ideological message being pushed, nor is there any noticeable caricaturing or villainization of dissenting viewpoints. The series is much more interested in gritty realism than preaching any particular worldview.
