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

Children of the Stones is refreshingly non-woke, offering eerie, engaging storytelling focused on mystery and mythology without shoehorning in contemporary identity politics or ideological lecturing. A relic from a less politicized era of television.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Children of the Stones centers on mystery, folklore, and psychological tension, clearly prioritizing plot and atmosphere over identity politics. Characters are developed based on personality, archetype, and their relevance to the story. Forced representation or modern social messaging is utterly absent by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show questions superstition and explores pagan rituals, it does so in the context of British folklore and scientific inquiry. Religion, family, and traditional moral structures are neither mocked nor subverted, though the village’s oddness is treated as alien rather than enlightening.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a genuine mix of skepticism, belief, tradition, and rationalism. No single worldview is enforced, and dissent isn’t villainized. The show’s atmosphere depends on intellectual tension and open debate between characters, not modern ideology.
