What We Think

"Tommy" is a textbook example of recent "woke" TV, with identity politics taking center stage and little space for traditional voices or genuine ideological diversity. If you’re looking for a non-woke police drama, this likely isn’t it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Tommy" is led by a female chief of police, with identity as a major focus. The show regularly highlights gender and sexuality, sometimes at the expense of deeper character development. Many plot points appear constructed to showcase representation rather than organic storytelling, which some viewers might find distracts from the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series often challenges traditional gender roles and authority structures. It features numerous moments where institutions like family and faith are questioned or subverted to highlight modern perspectives, making the show feel like it's on a mission to update long-standing cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional worldviews rarely receive balanced treatment. Dissenting perspectives, if present at all, are typically shown through caricature or antagonism, with most characters embracing the same set of progressive values without genuine debate.
