Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary is focused on true crime and conspiracy investigation, sticking closely to the facts of the Son of Sam case and Maury Terry’s obsessive journalism. There’s little to no emphasis on identity politics or modern ideological concerns in storytelling or casting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, masculinity, and related themes are not the central focus. While occultism and cult behavior are discussed, it’s within historical context. There’s no overt attempt to subvert or judge traditional values; rather, the show presents events for viewers to interpret.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is largely apolitical, with no clear mocking or villainization of alternative worldviews. It centers on investigative journalism and conspiracy culture, rather than orthodox ideological talking points. Characters don’t parrot a uniform modern ideology.
