Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on a skilled male intelligence agent, Himmat Singh, and leans heavily into classic spy-thriller elements. Identity politics and forced representation take a backseat here, letting narrative and character take the spotlight without overt ideological distractions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes like patriotism, sacrifice, and loyalty get center stage. Family, duty, and masculinity are portrayed in a traditional, respectable manner, with no sign of them being undermined or mocked for ‘modernization’s’ sake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little in the way of moral lecturing or villainizing of traditional views. The show keeps ideological uniformity and caricatured antagonists at bay, focusing on realistic motivations rather than agenda-driven narratives.
