What We Think

'The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe' is refreshingly non-woke, sticking closely to its true-crime subject without shoehorning in modern identity politics or undermining traditional social structures. A rare, simple story these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This crime drama is grounded in a bizarre real-life case, focusing more on fraud and family dynamics than any overt identity politics. Characters seem well-developed and are cast primarily for story authenticity, not box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of marriage, family, and personal responsibility remain intact, if a bit dysfunctional due to the central crime. The show does not overtly undermine traditional values or paint foundational social structures as inherently problematic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series doesn't celebrate steadfast traditional values, it also avoids pushing a homogenized ideological message. There's no apparent villainization of 'dissenting' views; focus remains on the specific oddities of the real-life story.
