What We Think

If anything, “All Round to Mrs. Brown’s” is threatened with being canceled for its irreverence and lack of modern wokeness. It gleefully thumbs its nose at contemporary identity obsessions, sticking to the formula of the classic comedy roast.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "All Round to Mrs. Brown's" sticks closely to classic sitcom formulas, with characters prioritized for comedic effect over identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or prioritizing diversity over story or humor. The narrative remains light, slapstick, and firmly character-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show playfully lampoons family and traditional values but largely celebrates them, leaning heavily on familiar roles and old-school humor. Masculinity and religion are the butt of a few jokes, but without serious subversion. It could even be called non-woke in its irreverent respect for tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints and classic stereotypes are presented, if anything, too freely for modern sensibilities. The show doesn’t push a particular ideology, and all perspectives are played for laughs, sometimes at the expense of political correctness.
