What We Think

The Turncoat is a breath of fresh air for those tired of heavy-handed wokeness. It's focused on delivering a compelling, historically grounded story rather than preaching ideology. Non-woke viewers can relax, this one’s about narrative, not activism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Turncoat prioritizes narrative and historical authenticity over ticking diversity boxes. Characters are developed based on storytelling needs rather than identity; there's minimal overt emphasis on modern ideological themes. This one actually tries to tell a wartime story without shoving 2020s politics into the mix.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like family, faith, and responsibility are depicted with nuance, even if not always uncritically. Masculinity and duty aren’t treated as punchlines or pathologies, and gender dynamics reflect the story's setting rather than modern re-education. No forced revision of history to fit a current agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show definitely has its moral stances (it's a war story, after all), it avoids one-note vilification of traditional perspectives. You’ll actually see characters wrestling with their own beliefs and dilemmas, a rare treat these days.
