What We Think

A Royal Secret is a textbook example of how historical drama is being reconfigured to suit modern ideological narratives, with little patience for nuance or classical themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show leans heavily into reinterpreting historical figures with a modern lens, placing more emphasis on character identity and sexuality than on nuanced personal arcs or historical realism. For some viewers, this appears to overshadow organic storytelling in favor of message.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditionally stoic concepts like monarchy and religion are sidelined, with masculine roles often questioned and family structures reframed through a progressive outlook. This consistent subversion of classical cultural themes seems to serve an ideological agenda over genuine exploration.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives or traditional values are notably absent or portrayed unsympathetically, leaving little room for debate or pluralism. The series creates an echo chamber of modern attitudes, without much meaningful tension between opposing worldviews.
