What We Think

“Unsolved Mysteries” is about as non-woke as network TV gets. It focuses on storytelling, not ideology, and steers clear of shoehorning political or cultural messages into its format. A rare relic of pre-woke television.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Unsolved Mysteries” primarily reports on cold cases, paranormal events, and disappearances without shoehorning identity politics or prioritizing ideology over storytelling. The show’s narrative is straightforward, letting the mystery be the focus, so narrative integrity is largely unaffected by wokeness.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is minimal, if any, critique of traditional values, family, religion, or masculinity. The show simply covers the stories it presents, largely reflecting the norms of late-80s/90s American television without much revisionism or cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series is not overly political, it does not intentionally offer alternative worldviews or make ideological statements. Its tone is neutral, though at times it may reflect standard mainstream assumptions of its era.
