What We Think

While "The Killing Kind" doesn't break new ground in non-woke storytelling, it avoids most over-the-top woke pitfalls. It's modern, sure, but not a parade of forced messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

From what can be seen, "The Killing Kind" keeps its main focus on character development and psychological drama, rather than prioritizing woke ideology. Casting is diverse but not egregiously forced, and the plot revolves around the profession and personal struggles of the main characters, not their identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't seem overly interested in undermining traditional culture, family, or morality. While some modern values are present, they fit the gritty, contemporary London setting. Masculine and feminine roles are portrayed with nuance, not mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There's a bit of the usual modern TV slant, but dissenting or traditional views aren't purely villainized or mocked. There are layers to the characters and some suggest shades of perspective, rare for newer crime dramas.
