Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 2009 adaptation largely preserves the core narrative of the original story, with limited signs of identity-driven casting or ideology-first storytelling. While some secondary characters are updated to reflect a more modern audience, it's not at the expense of plot or tension. No major 'checklist' representation or obvious tokenism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This miniseries doesn't go out of its way to undermine religion, family, or traditional gender roles. While it modernizes some interpersonal dynamics, there's no heavy-handed subversion of masculinity or cultural heritage. The world in collapse theme overshadows any overt cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence the show forces a single ideological worldview. Characters come from varied backgrounds and have diverse moral priorities in the face of catastrophe. Traditional and alternative perspectives are both given room, avoiding simplistic villainization or monochrome groupthink.
