Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Detectives (1993) is a classic British comedy that focuses on the bumbling antics of two police officers. Identity politics and modern ideological themes are mostly absent; the humor centers on character flaws and slapstick, not forced representation. The characters are developed through wit and incompetence, not demographic boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show draws from traditional British values and institutions, poking fun at police work but never aggressively undermining religion, family, or masculinity. Humorous takes are gentle and not agenda-driven. There's little to no evidence of cultural revisionism or subversion of classic roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn’t any notable ideological uniformity here, diverse views aren’t really a factor, and alternative perspectives aren’t villainized. The comedy is mostly apolitical, relying on universal stories about incompetence rather than pushing an agenda.
