What We Think

American Restoration is about as non-woke as modern TV gets: an honest celebration of skill, tradition, and classic Americana. It’s a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of ideological box-checking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses squarely on the restoration of classic American artifacts, with characters chosen for expertise rather than identity factors. There’s no apparent shoehorning of ideological themes or forced diversity – just skilled craftspeople and their passions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

American Restoration practically celebrates traditional cultural values like hard work, craftsmanship, family, and entrepreneurship. Traditional masculinity is front and center, and the show's world is unapologetically rooted in classic Americana.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked or villainized, in fact, the show doesn’t push any overt moral messaging. If anything, viewers get a refreshing glimpse of old-school problem-solving and family dynamics without an ideological axe to grind.
