What We Think

‘Undercover’ sticks to crime drama basics without shoving modern ideology down your throat. It’s refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards, letting character and story take the lead over forced messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show prioritizes crime thriller storytelling over any overt ideological agenda. Character backgrounds and casting choices feel mostly organic within the European setting, and identity is not emphasized over skill or role. There are no glaring examples of forced representation or flawless, ideology-driven characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family and morality are present and serve as important motivators. Masculinity isn’t unduly mocked or undermined; both male and female characters have flaws. There’s little evidence of subverting cultural foundations or of heavy-handed revisionist narratives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show gives various perspectives a seat at the table. Criminal and law enforcement roles cut across genders and backgrounds, but the show avoids mocking traditional viewpoints and doesn't villainize dissent. There’s no sense that all characters share a singular woke worldview.
