Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show centers on the first female police constable at a 1950s police station, it largely focuses on realistic workplace challenges rather than pushing identity at all costs. The storylines feel grounded for the period depicted, with character personality and skill still playing major roles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show highlights obstacles faced by women in a male-dominated environment, but it doesn't demonize traditional values. Masculinity is sometimes shown as outdated, but also occasionally honorable, avoiding full-on revisionism or caricatured anti-traditionalism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While traditional perspectives are sometimes challenged or critiqued, the show paints a nuanced picture instead of outright villainizing alternative views. There is some leaning into modern morality but also acknowledgment of period-specific attitudes.
