Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses primarily on its central mystery and character development rather than inserting overt ideological themes. Casting and character arcs appear motivated by the needs of the story, not by box-ticking for diversity or pushing identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as family ties, duty, and parental instincts are given significant weight. There’s no apparent attempt to undermine religion, masculinity, or key cultural foundations. The storytelling leans into human relationships, not ideological revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture. The show treats difference and conflict as part of the human experience rather than as a morality play. Viewers get a range of motives and perspectives beyond simplistic modern binaries.
