Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This documentary series mainly focuses on historical events and personalities of the 1980s, emphasizing social, political, and cultural trends without heavy-handed identity politics. Representation sticks fairly close to reality, as it’s a retrospective on the decade rather than a fictional narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents American culture as energetic and innovative, celebrating family, entrepreneurship, and pop culture. While it touches on some cultural changes (like gender and race progress), it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values and mostly takes a celebratory tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While there are moments that praise societal progress, the show generally covers a wide range of perspectives. It doesn’t villainize traditional viewpoints, and diversity of thought is reasonably present in the discussions of politics, economics, and culture.
