What We Think

'The Eight' is refreshingly non-woke compared to most contemporary fare. Focused on plot and local flavor, it avoids injecting modern ideology or forced representation, resulting in a straightforward thriller. Definitely on the non-woke side of the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little indication that 'The Eight' puts identity politics ahead of traditional storytelling. Characters seem driven by plot and personal motivations rather than ideological messaging or forced diversity. The focus appears to be a suspenseful thriller with emphasis on action and intrigue, not contemporary social themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show does not appear to mock or undermine cultural, religious, or family values. Traditional norms are neither exaggerated nor attacked , if anything, the story emphasizes universal human experiences with a local flavor, staying clear of modern revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious sidelining or caricaturing of alternative worldviews. The series allows for a plurality of motives and backgrounds; characters are not mouthpieces for ideological talking points. Most viewers would not see this as a lecture on current year social justice.
