Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

The show highlights traditional values like family, masculinity, and law enforcement, pretty much without ridicule. It depicts the tensions and challenges of the era without pushing a modern ideological rewrite of cultural norms, instead leaning into the rough-and-tumble morality of the time.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is some mild critique of established power structures, but alternative viewpoints are present, and traditional perspectives are depicted without being villainized. The show allows for pluralism and conflict reflective of its time period instead of a singular modern worldview.
