What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what is known, 'Coming Home' is a 1998 British drama adapted from Rosamunde Pilcher's novel. The show emphasizes character development and stays faithful to its period setting, with identity factors largely accurate to its context and not forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely upholds traditional values, focusing on family dynamics, duty, and themes common to its WWII-era backdrop. There is little in the way of modern ideological revisionism or subversion of classic gender roles, at least by contemporary standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives are given screen time, and the drama avoids painting traditional viewpoints as caricatures. Characters represent a variety of moral and social outlooks, more in keeping with traditional British period drama.
