In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'Abigel' stands as a refreshingly non-woke production by modern standards. It prioritizes story and tradition over ideology or forced representation. Balanced, era-appropriate, and focused on real character growth. Wouldn't fly in today's activist Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Abigel' focuses on character-driven storytelling, with personalities and growth at the forefront rather than box-checking identity traits. The casting and plotlines remain era-appropriate, with no signs of overt ideological interference or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays traditional values, including family, religion, and femininity, within their authentic historical and cultural context. There's little sense that the narrative mocks, subverts, or revises these foundations. It generally reinforces rather than undermines long-standing cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the narrative operates within traditional frameworks, it doesn't outrightly villainize dissenting perspectives or force-feed a single modern ideology. If anything, it presents the historical period's worldview with some accuracy, leaving debate and complexity largely intact.
