Trust Me2017

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

'Trust Me' largely avoids the usual pitfalls of hyper-woke storytelling. Narrative and character take precedence over ideology, and while modern themes are present, they serve the plot rather than dominate it. A refreshingly non-woke entry by today’s BBC standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

'Trust Me' centers on a female protagonist who assumes a false identity as a doctor. While casting a woman in a lead medical drama role is hardly radical these days, the show doesn't force identity themes or diversity for their own sake. Character depth and personal struggle are prioritized over box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s minimal agenda-pushing regarding gender or family roles. Yes, the lead is a struggling single mother, but her familial struggles are treated realistically rather than as a means to undermine traditional values. No overt subversion of longstanding cultural traditions is present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show explores consequences and moral ambiguity rather than enforcing a single ideological point. There’s some critique of existing structures, but alternative worldviews are present, with no cartoonish villainization of dissenters.
