Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This docudrama focuses heavily on historic events and attempts to portray the era authentically, largely avoiding modern identity politics. Casting, characterization, and storylines appear rooted in the actual historical context rather than ideology-driven mandates of recent years.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like religion, masculinity, and family are depicted as core to the story, consistent with the medieval period. There’s no significant attempt to undermine these cultural touchstones or retrofit modern ideologies onto the past.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are represented through both Anglo-Saxon and Norman points of view. The show lacks the sort of moralizing or singular worldview commonly seen in more recent, overtly woke productions.
