Thorne (2010) | How Woke Is It?

Our VerdictNot Woke

Thorne2010

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

Thorne is almost nostalgia-inducing in how little it caters to modern woke sensibilities. Narrative, realism, and psychological tension matter more than anything else here. This is a refreshingly non-woke crime series.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Thorne is grounded in its crime procedural roots, with character development and plot taking clear precedence over any identity politics. Casting choices seem driven by narrative needs, not forced diversity. The characters are flawed, realistic, and not immune to challenge or consequence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show does not target traditional cultural or moral values, nor does it push heavy revisionism. Family, religion, and masculinity are simply background elements, neither mocked nor unduly elevated. There’s little effort to subvert tradition for its own sake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Thorne presents a balanced worldview, mostly focused on crime and human nature rather than promoting modern ideological talking points. Characters hold various perspectives and are not pigeonholed into caricatures or mocked for traditional beliefs.
