Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Burning Bush stays focused on its historical subject matter, with identity characteristics of characters only present when historically accurate. The narrative is not hijacked by modern ideological priorities, and the character arcs are compelling and rooted in the actual events.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show depicts traditional institutions like family and faith with nuance and authenticity, respecting the Czech struggle against totalitarianism. There's no gratuitous undermining of masculinity, religion, or morality; instead, it celebrates the courage found in those values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, such as those held by Communist regime sympathizers, are not deeply explored, but the focus is on the resistance against oppression. Still, this is grounded in the show's historical setting, not current ideological trends.
