CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

CSI scores 1-2/10 on wokeness: pure apolitical escapism driven by forensics, organic Vegas diversity, and neutral resolutions—no DEI quotas, identity politics, or lectures.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a long-running forensic procedural drama set in a Las Vegas crime lab, where a diverse ensemble of investigators solves gruesome, puzzle-like murders, kidnappings, and bizarre cases through meticulous scientific evidence and team dynamics, prioritizing suspenseful entertainment over any narrative agenda.
Across Seasons 1-15, the show maintains organic casting reflective of its multicultural Vegas backdrop—featuring strong performances from leads like Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, and Warrick Brown—without forced DEI quotas, race/gender swaps, or identity politics driving roles or plots. Even incidental touches on social issues, such as transgender murders or police shootings, resolve neutrally via forensics rather than progressive lectures on systemic oppression or activism, earning consistently low "woke" scores (1-2/10) for its apolitical, escapist purity that fueled massive viewership and zero ideological backlash.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
