Birdsong is a refreshing change of pace, sticking close to source material and historical context, with minimal evidence of woke interference. Fans of non-woke storytelling should find nothing to worry about.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Birdsong focuses on character-driven storytelling rooted in historical drama, with little evidence of modern identity politics steering casting or characterization. Identity factors take a definite back seat to the narrative, and the core plot is driven by authentic human emotion and realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional relationships and values remain largely respected throughout, with few efforts to undermine concepts like family or masculinity. Religion and culture appear in contextually appropriate manners for the era, without overt revisionism or mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to suggest the presence of an ideological monoculture. The drama is more about personal struggle and the horrors of war than about promoting any narrow worldview, offering characters with distinct perspectives and conflicts.
