What We Think

'The Murder Tapes' is your standard crime documentary, no grandstanding, ideological rewriting, or forced representation. It’s about murders, investigations, and the people involved. If you’re looking for a ‘woke’ showcase, look elsewhere; this show almost sleeps through the culture war.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Murder Tapes' sticks closely to true crime documentary conventions, focusing on police body cam footage and investigation details. Identity factors are not forced or shoehorned in, and the primary concern is factual storytelling. There's little room for ideological side-tracking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series is firmly rooted in real-life criminal cases and presents law enforcement, family, and community as vital components rather than undermining them. There is no apparent subversion of traditional values, gender roles, or cultural heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no discernible ideological monoculture here. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized, and the documentary style doesn't push moral uniformity beyond standard true crime tropes.
