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

David Attenborough's Rise of Animals is blissfully non-woke, a straightforward, educational documentary that prioritizes natural history over identity or political messaging. A rare return to form for those tired of forced ideology in media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a nature documentary focused on evolutionary biology and narrated by Attenborough, the show prioritizes scientific accuracy and storytelling over identity politics. There is no discernible prioritization of ideology or forced representation; it’s all about the animals and their development through time.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary doesn’t address or undermine traditional values or belief systems. While evolutionary theory might challenge certain religious worldviews, it does so in a purely scientific context, not as a cultural critique. Family, morality, or masculinity aren't really in its purview.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The focus is entirely on natural history. There’s no real space for ideological debate, but you won’t find modern political dogma, social justice slogans, or caricatured villains here, just a consistent (and refreshingly old-school) approach to nature documentary filmmaking.
