Chance
tv·TV-MA·Oct 19, 2016·
Chance earns its low 1/10 woke score by focusing solely on psychological unraveling, mental illness, and personal moral decline with zero identity politics or social justice messaging.
"Chance" is a dark psychological thriller following forensic neuropsychiatrist Dr. Eldon Chance as he becomes entangled in cases involving mental illness, abusive relationships, police corruption, and personal moral decline, often alongside the violent enforcer D while dealing with his own family issues and blackmail.
Across both seasons, the narrative centers on therapy sessions, gaslighting, dissociative disorders, vigilante justice, and violent confrontations without incorporating any social justice elements. The show's content profile earns its official overall woke score of 1/10 because the episode plots and character arcs remain strictly focused on individual psychological unraveling and institutional corruption, with zero references to identity politics, systemic oppression, or critiques of traditional norms. This straightforward adaptation of Kem Nunn's novel maintains a consistent emphasis on personal obsessions and mental health struggles in its reviewed seasons.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
