What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"We Own This City" places strong emphasis on themes of systemic racism and policing, often prioritizing these over nuanced character development or complex moral situations. While it's based on real events, many characters appear crafted more to serve ideological points than to allow for organic storytelling or genuine growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show consistently portrays institutions like the police, masculinity, and traditional authority in a relentlessly negative light. Religion and family are barely present, and when they are, they're overshadowed by the focus on corruption or systemic ills, offering little respect to traditional cultural anchors.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews barely exist outside strawman representations. Tradition-minded or dissenting characters are often depicted as corrupt or incapable of moral insight, while the narrative provides little room for debate about systemic issues, making its ideological stance quite unyielding.
