In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Devil’s Throat leans into crime mystery rather than social lectures, mostly side-stepping the heavy-handed wokeness often plaguing TV in recent years. While it nods to some modern sensibilities, it shows restraint and doesn’t drown out good storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Devil’s Throat stays primarily in crime thriller territory, focusing on character flaw, mystery, and suspense rather than identity politics. There is some diversity and modern sensibility, but they generally serve the plot and character arcs instead of overshadowing them.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show explores corruption and social issues, but doesn’t aggressively tear down tradition or paint religion, family, or masculinity as inherently suspicious. Its take on gender dynamics is more nuanced than most recent shows, avoiding overt subversion for its own sake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While elements of progressivism can be spotted, traditional perspectives are not ridiculed or turned into outright strawmen. There’s room for multiple points of view, giving this series a more balanced ideological atmosphere than most modern dramas.
