What We Think

'Soldiers' stands out as a distinctly non-woke series, more interested in classic humor and relatable characters than in checking ideological boxes. If anything, it’s a relic of pre-woke television, unapologetically traditional, and refreshingly so.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Soldiers' (2004) is firmly rooted in traditional character archetypes and focuses on personalities, competence, and humor rather than on promoting identity politics. Casting and character development are story-driven, not ideology-driven, with no obvious forced representation or suspension of disbelief for the sake of diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally portrays military life, camaraderie, and family ties in a positive or humorous light. Traditional gender roles, Russian customs, and respect for hierarchy are prominent, and any subversion is for comedic effect rather than ideological messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews exist mainly as comedic contrasts. Traditional values, masculinity, and authority are not villainized but rather form the show's comic backbone. There's no consistent push for modern ideological conformity or moral lecturing.
