Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Company is a Cold War spy drama that prioritizes character depth and plot over box-checking on identity factors. Casting choices are era-appropriate, focusing on authenticity. There’s little evidence of forced representation or ideologically motivated character construction.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely respects the time period, depicting traditional institutions like family, faith, and patriotism with nuance. Masculinity is treated seriously in the context of espionage. There’s no clear subversion or revisionist agenda at play here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series presents both Soviet and Western viewpoints, avoiding caricature. Viewers are allowed to witness genuine ideological conflict, with multiple perspectives well-represented. It’s refreshingly pluralistic compared to modern fare.
