What We Think

“Stephen” offers a powerful examination of real injustices but can be seen as strongly shaped by modern ideological lenses, with little room for competing viewpoints or nuanced depictions of institutions.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The series closely follows the real-life investigation of Stephen Lawrence’s murder, leaning heavily into themes of institutional racism. While the story itself remains grounded in fact, some viewers may find the focus on identity overshadows deeper exploration of individual character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There is a persistent critique of institutions like the police, and themes of racial injustice are front and center. While based on real events, the show adopts modern interpretative frameworks which some could argue reflect current ideological trends rather than the full historical context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives (such as portraying traditional, non-woke views on policing or justice) are largely absent or depicted unsympathetically. The prevailing moral stance is clear and unchallenged within the narrative.
