Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Training Day (2017) mostly centers its story on character dynamics and gritty law enforcement scenarios. Character identity is present but not prioritized over skill, role, or story realism. Diversity feels relatively organic, and the series avoids obvious ideological narrative detours common in more recent fare.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show depicts tough, flawed masculinity, traditional policing, and a cynical urban environment. While some may find the edges a bit sanded down compared to the film, it certainly doesn't seem interested in undermining family, faith, or tradition as a primary mission.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s a range of perspectives presented, albeit within a familiar cop drama setup. Traditional worldviews aren’t outright mocked or villainized; ethical gray areas actually get some exploration, and there’s little attempt at forcing ideological uniformity.
