The Laser Man2005

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'The Laser Man' largely avoids modern 'woke' pitfalls. Its focus remains squarely on storytelling, not on checking diversity boxes or enforcing ideological uniformity. A non-woke, grounded crime drama reminiscent of a less politicized era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Laser Man' tells the true story of a criminal investigation without apparent emphasis on identity politics or forced representation. Character traits and development stem from the narrative rather than ideological goals, resulting in minimal 'woke' interference.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show deals with issues such as racism, it does so within a realistic and grounded police procedural context. Family, morality, and traditional values aren't undermined; instead, the tension revolves around authentic societal challenges of the era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present, portrayed through both investigators and those on the margins. While condemnation of racism is evident (as one would expect), dissenting perspectives are investigated rather than caricatured.
