What We Think

'The Ice House' remains refreshingly non-woke, favoring atmosphere and character-driven drama over ideology. It holds up as an example of old-school storytelling that doesn't seem interested in pushing modern moral lessons.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Ice House' focuses primarily on mystery and psychological drama, with little emphasis on modern identity politics. Character development is driven by plot, not ideology. The casting and story arcs are grounded in realism, and there’s little evidence that contemporary ideological concerns override the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The story doesn't overtly challenge or undermine traditional values. While it features complex female leads, it doesn’t present masculinity, family, or morality in a negative light. Instead, its focus is on human nature and the consequences of secrets, rather than a critique of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s minimal evidence of an ideological monoculture. The series provides a variety of perspectives, especially regarding guilt, innocence, and human motives. Traditional and alternative views receive mostly balanced and nuanced representation.
