What We Think

This adaptation of Anna Karenina stays remarkably non-woke, remaining faithful to its classic roots without layering on modern ideological messaging. The focus is on timeless conflicts, not contemporary social agendas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation sticks closely to Tolstoy's original text, focusing on character and narrative rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics or forced representation. Casting choices seem motivated by fit for the period and material. Nothing sticks out as an ideological detour from the classic story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and traditional values are central to the source material and remain largely intact in this adaptation. While the story critiques some aspects of these norms through Anna's tragedy, it hardly serves as a modern hit piece on traditional culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present and debated, ranging from tradition to rebellion, without devolving into caricature. The show maintains rich internal conflicts true to the novel, rather than enforcing any present-day ideological consensus.
