Ties That Bind2015

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

Surprisingly non-woke by modern standards. “Ties That Bind” sticks to character-driven drama, upholding family and moral themes without shoehorning in ideology. A refreshing throwback to when plot mattered more than politics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Ties That Bind" centers on family and law enforcement, focusing on a female detective balancing work and home life. The series doesn’t appear to rely on identity politics or forced representation. Characters are fleshed out and face real challenges, not just obstacles invented to serve an agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely respects traditional family structures and portrays both men and women in meaningful, competent ways. While it features a strong female lead, it does not undermine masculinity or ridicule tradition; instead, it frames family and moral responsibility as essential.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear attempt to present a balanced view and allow for internal conflicts, not just ideological proclamations. Traditional perspectives are given room, and there’s no hyper-focus on mocking or villainizing dissenting worldviews.
