What We Think

'The Blacklist: Redemption' mostly dodges the typical Hollywood wokeness. It's far more concerned with thrilling plots than lecturing viewers, leaving ideology on the (surveillance-van) sidelines. A rare sighting of old-school escapism in the modern TV jungle.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'The Blacklist: Redemption' focuses more on espionage, intrigue, and personal drama than checking all the identity politics boxes. Casting and character arcs prioritize skill and plot over forced representation or ideological messaging, resulting in minimal identity-driven distractions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally respects traditional themes of family, personal loyalty, and moral complexity, with a heavy focus on classic spy tropes. It doesn't overtly undermine cultural traditions or masculine archetypes, sticking closer to the genre's roots than succumbing to modern ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While some characters display modern attitudes, the show still presents a mix of moral viewpoints and doesn't aggressively mock or villainize traditional perspectives. It's not a bastion of pluralism, but it avoids the monocultural pitfall so common in newer shows.
