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

Antiques Roadshow is about as non-woke as a TV show gets. It respectfully leans into tradition, values expertise and family connection, and avoids any hint of forced ideology. If only more shows remembered that not everything needs a modern twist!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Antiques Roadshow keeps the focus on antiques and their history, not shoehorning ideology or forced representation into its appraisal segments. Casting primarily celebrates expertise and genuine interest, not identity quotas. It's about the stories behind the objects, not the personal backgrounds of guests or appraisers.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little, if any, subversion of religion, family, or tradition here. The show often highlights the importance of family heirlooms and generational stories, leaning into cultural roots rather than undermining them. Traditional values and respect for heritage are baked into the format.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t really a focus, the show is strongly apolitical and diverse perspectives are welcomed in the form of different objects' histories. No particular political or ideological line dominates or is pushed at all.
