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 Mire stands out as a rare example of a largely non-woke modern show. It prioritizes authentic storytelling and character over agenda, and maintains respect for its cultural setting. This is refreshing compared to today’s usual ideological fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Mire largely focuses on traditional crime drama elements instead of prioritizing identity politics. Characters are fleshed out with attention to personality, flaws, and narrative role rather than being defined by identity markers, making for genuine storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This series takes place in 1980s Poland and portrays the difficulties and realities of the time without overtly undermining traditional institutions like family, religion, or masculinity. The cultural setting feels authentic rather than re-engineered for modern ideological purposes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, especially dissent, skepticism, and personal struggle, are given space. While power structures like the communist regime are critiqued, the show doesn’t push a heavy present-day ideological narrative or demonize traditional perspectives.
