What We Think

In "Sianida," the core narrative stays focused on crime and personal motivation over identity politics. While there's a hint of modern sensibilities, it avoids the worst excesses of wokeness and doesn’t push strong ideological messages. Refreshingly non-preachy by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Sianida" largely focuses on mystery and crime rather than prioritizing ideological themes. While some characters represent diverse backgrounds, their traits seem rooted more in the story's context than box-ticking for representation. Narrative choices generally serve the plot, not outside agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series depicts religion, family, and tradition as significant, albeit with a modern twist, without overtly mocking or undermining them. There’s some questioning of traditional roles, but nothing especially radical by current streaming standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren't caricatured, and there’s some variety in character worldviews. The show avoids making dissenting beliefs into strawmen and doesn’t force everyone into identical modern moral molds.
