What We Think

'Valkyrien' is about as non-woke as you’ll find from recent years. It prioritizes its story, offers complex and flawed characters, and avoids most of Hollywood’s standard ideological trappings. A refreshing break from the typical modern template.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Valkyrien' is strongly character-driven and focuses on plot tension. Representation seems organic, with casting and character traits fitting the story's premise rather than tick-box identity politics. The show revolves around a male protagonist and prioritizes narrative coherence over ideological statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series does not overtly undermine family, masculinity, or tradition; its themes are grounded in personal morality, desperation, and complex human decisions. There's little evidence of traditional roles being vilified or cultural revisionism in the storyline.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternate worldviews are present: characters pursue competing goals and moral dilemmas are handled with nuance. There’s no sense that 'correct' viewpoints are presented as a monoculture, and dissenting opinions receive fair development rather than caricature.
