In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'The Team' is a rare example of a crime show that incorporates diversity without losing its narrative edge or turning into a morality lecture. If you’re tired of being preached at but want to enjoy a modern police procedural, this is a relatively non-woke option.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'The Team' leans heavily on its multinational, diverse police ensemble, but does so without feeling forced or interrupting the core crime narrative. Character backgrounds matter, but identity is part of the realism in a European cross-border investigation. It doesn't resort to shoehorning identity politics at the expense of storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional dynamics, family, morality, authority, are presented more or less straight. There’s little evidence of subversion or ridicule of cultural pillars. Religion and masculinity are not central themes, and when they appear, they’re neither derided nor excessively “updated.”

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show avoids villainizing cultural or traditional perspectives. While there’s an obvious European progressive bent, there remains space for pluralism and actual interpersonal tension among the multinational cast, rather than a single, unified 'correct' worldview.
