Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Motive" is a true crime documentary focusing on a 1986 case in Jerusalem. The show doesn't appear to prioritize ideology over the real-life details, and character focus comes from actual individuals involved, not casting choices for diversity points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional values are treated as contextual factors in the case, not as things to ridicule or revise. There's no overt undermining or ideological rewriting of cultural frameworks in the storytelling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of pushing a modern ideological agenda, nor are alternative viewpoints or traditions villainized or mocked. The show sticks closely to the facts and psychological exploration of motive.
