What We Think

‘Abraham Lincoln’ on History is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It tells a classic American story without pandering or rewriting history to fit today’s ideological trends. If only more historical dramas followed suit.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series largely respects Abraham Lincoln’s historical context and focuses on his character, decisions, and the complexities of the Civil War. There's a clear attempt to present the story as authentically as possible, without overemphasizing modern identity concerns or shoehorning diverse characters for the sake of it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional American values are shown as important influences on Lincoln’s life and presidency. The series handles these foundations with respect and avoids any heavy-handed attempts at cultural revisionism or mocking traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show discusses issues like slavery and race in an honest historical context. While it doesn't present much debate on modern ideological questions, it refrains from vilifying dissenters through caricature and sticks close to the era's debates.
