Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s narrative is driven by gritty character conflict and suspense rather than placing identity politics at the forefront. Casting and character arcs revolve around story needs more than ideology, with no overt sense of forced representation or flawless diverse characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes such as masculinity, loyalty, and even religious undertones are explored with an old-school Western lens. The production doesn’t go out of its way to subvert traditional family or cultural motifs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no singular moral vision. Characters’ various worldviews are depicted with nuance, not caricature. The film doesn’t use modern woke tropes to villainize traditional values or push ideological uniformity.
