Börje - The Journey of a Legend2023

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

Börje - The Journey of a Legend keeps things refreshingly non-woke by focusing on authenticity and legacy rather than box-ticking identity politics. It’s a salute to grit, tradition, and family, exactly the kind of show that lets real history shine without getting a modern ideological makeover.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

From what is available, the show appears to respect the real-life story of Börje Salming, keeping authenticity at the forefront. Any representation choices seem grounded in the subject’s life and era, not shoehorned for modern quotas. Narrative focus remains on Salming himself, rather than unrelated identity themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The story highlights Salming’s struggles, masculinity, family, and cultural roots without mocking or undermining these foundations. In fact, it seems to celebrate perseverance and traditional values, avoiding the usual 'subversive' rewrites we see so often these days.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture. The series seems more interested in telling a personal and historical story than shoehorning in contemporary talking points or villainizing alternative viewpoints.
