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 Victims' Game stands out as a refreshingly non-woke show, focusing on story and character over ideology. It avoids the usual modern pitfalls of heavy-handed messaging or revisionism.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show largely focuses on tight storytelling, character flaws, and realistic motivations, prioritizing narrative over identity politics. There’s little indication that character identity is prioritized over actual plotting or depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, personal struggle, and moral ambiguity are handled without heavy-handed subversion of tradition or overt agenda-setting. The series draws from Taiwanese culture without obvious attempts at revisionism or mocking traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While crime dramas often lean into certain tropes, there’s little here to suggest alternative worldviews are demonized or a single ideological narrative dominates all perspectives. The show offers room for nuance and diversity of views.
