What We Think

Unit 42 is a welcome outlier in today’s media landscape. It puts narrative first, avoids overtly woke themes, and respects cultural foundations, making it a refreshingly non-woke crime drama by contemporary standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Unit 42 centers on traditional crime-solving with believable, well-rounded characters. While there is some diversity in the cast, character skills and storylines generally carry more weight than identity, and forced representation is minimal. The series prioritizes plot and character over ticking ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show gives an authentic European vibe, with family, morality, and societal norms portrayed naturally. There’s little preaching, no overt undermining of traditional values, and the focus remains on crime, justice, and teamwork, rather than trying to rewrite cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are represented with decent nuance. Unit 42 rarely ventures into modern ideological echo chambers. Some occasional nods to current themes exist, but they don’t overwhelm the narrative or crowd out diverse viewpoints.
