What We Think

'The Family' from Ay Yapım stays refreshingly non-woke, with traditional themes and minimal ideological browbeating. If anything, it’s a dose of old-school drama in a landscape crowded with modern messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what can be seen, 'The Family' (2023) by Ay Yapım largely centers on familiar Turkish drama tropes, family, loyalty, intergenerational conflict, rather than any overt ideological messaging or checkbox casting. Identities and backgrounds seem to serve the narrative instead of dominating it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show appears to hold traditional values, with a strong focus on family honor and dynamics. Masculinity and family roles are central and not subverted for modern ideological points. Religious or cultural elements are treated with respect instead of revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While it's fair to say 'The Family' doesn't promote much ideological diversity, that's mostly because it sticks to the Turkish mainstream. Traditional perspectives aren't mocked or villainized, and dissent within the family is handled realistically, not as political posturing.
