What We Think

Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All is about as non-woke as it gets these days, a straightforward musician bio-doc. No ideological sermons, identity politics, or revisionist history lessons, just Ed, his family, and his music. A refreshing break from the norm.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This Ed Sheeran docuseries sticks almost entirely to his personal story, focusing on his music, career growth, and struggles. There’s minimal sign of identity politics, forced representation, or shoehorned ideological themes. It appears to care more about showcasing Sheeran’s journey than ticking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is very much about Sheeran’s family background, perseverance, and personal relationships. There’s no evident subversion of traditional notions like family, masculinity, or cultural heritage, instead, these aspects are celebrated. Nothing here smacks of cultural revisionism or finger-wagging at tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernable ideological push or ridicule of non-woke viewpoints. The primary focus is Ed’s craft and relationships, so anyone hoping for scolding lectures or mocking of tradition will be disappointed. It manages to avoid ideological preachiness almost entirely.
