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

“Chickens” is a tongue-in-cheek period comedy that mostly leaves modern woke trends at the door, keeping its humor rooted in character flaws rather than progressive preaching. A rare non-woke entry for modern British TV.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Chickens” is a historical comedy focusing on three men avoiding military service during WWI. The show doesn't rely on forced representation or identity-driven casting; it stays true to its period setting, prioritizing character humor over contemporary ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's playful subversion of traditional masculinity, but it’s clearly for comedic effect, not as a moral judgment. Family, religion, and national identity aren’t undermined or ridiculed in a modern political sense.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show pokes fun at its protagonists’ cowardice without turning traditional values into villains. There’s no overt ideological messaging, and alternative views aren’t caricatured or demonized.
