What We Think

Refreshingly free of modern 'woke' tropes, it reminds us storytelling can center real heroism and complexity without identity-driven box-ticking. A rare, non-woke gem from recent streaming releases.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses intensely on the Bhopal disaster, giving weight to heroism, duty, and sacrifice. Casting and character focus appear to prioritize authenticity and realism over box-ticking diversity, with little emphasis on modern identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

It depicts familial, national, and moral duty without undermining tradition. There are no overt attempts to subvert traditional roles; in fact, the show foregrounds the bravery and competence of regular (primarily male) workers and leaders.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are represented: protagonists and antagonists are drawn from various walks of life. The show centers on human struggle and responsibility, rather than pushing a singular ideological lens. Viewers aren’t bludgeoned with lectures or one-dimensional villains.
