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

Not much wokeness to see here. "Death Comes to Pemberley" is a straightforward period mystery, with respect for its historical setting and very little in the way of ideological meddling. Non-woke viewers can relax with this one.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Death Comes to Pemberley" sticks quite faithfully to period drama conventions, focusing on character and story rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics. Casting and character arcs feel rooted in the social realities of the era, not forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family dynamics, and the morality of Austen’s world are largely respected. There’s no overt pushing of contemporary critiques against religion, family, or masculinity, if anything, these serve as pillars rather than punching bags.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show rarely injects modern ideology into its storyline, and doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives. Differences of opinion arise through believable character motivations grounded in the setting, not abstract ideology.
