What We Think

The 1988 'The Bourne Identity' miniseries really stands as a refreshing example of non-woke entertainment. Its focus is on story, tension, and personal struggle, not checking contemporary identity boxes. Spy thrillers just the way they used to make them!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1988 miniseries stays very close to the classic spy-thriller narrative. Characters are driven by their roles and skills rather than identity politics; there's no modern-style emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over actual story and action.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional concepts like masculinity, morality, and family are presented straightforwardly, without subversion or mockery. If anything, they are integral to the plot and character motivations, fully in line with non-woke storytelling values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the ideological spectrum isn't broad, the lack of deliberate caricatures or pointed mockery of alternative worldviews keeps any monoculture vibes very subtle. Dialogue and characters stick to their respective roles without modern moralizing.
