Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what we can see, 'The Office (SA)' largely sticks to adapting the familiar workplace comedy formula, focusing on character quirks and office antics. There’s little evidence that the core narrative is overtaken by ideological messaging or that character diversity is forced at the expense of story integrity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This version appears to adapt the humor and office dynamics for its regional context without directly undermining faith, family, or traditional masculinity. If anything, it gently pokes fun at contemporary work culture in a non-subversive way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show mostly presents a broad spectrum of characters behaving awkwardly, with no apparent push for ideological conformity or villainization of traditional views. The comedy comes from personalities, not politics or ideology.
