Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Devil Next Door' relies on historical legal cases, focusing on real-life events with an emphasis on evidence, testimony, and ambiguity. There’s no heavy-handed focus on identity politics or shoehorned-in representation. The narrative centers squarely on truth, justice, and moral uncertainty, not box-ticking or ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series deals with weighty questions about evil, justice, and memory but doesn't set out to undermine traditional values, faith, or family. It approaches cultural and religious issues from a sobering, respectful perspective rather than lecturing or subverting Western tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This is not a platform for one-sided messaging. Multiple perspectives, lawyers, survivors, family, and accused, are fairly represented, inviting viewers to wrestle with the complexity of history rather than offering simplistic, moralizing answers.
