Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Edwardian Farm is a historical documentary series that focuses on recreating authentic rural life in early 20th-century Britain. Casting closely fits the roles required for historical accuracy, and emphasis is placed on skill, cooperation, and survival rather than modern social themes. Identity factors are not forced into the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural, religious, and family structures are portrayed with care and respect, reflecting their genuine place within Edwardian society. There’s no attempt to undermine masculinity, tradition, or religious life, instead, these elements are shown as essential and positive parts of the rural experience.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show refrains from injecting modern ideological debates or mocking traditional worldviews. If anything, its pluralism is found in its respectful treatment of the era's customs, religious practices, and social arrangements. There are no strawmen or caricatures of dissenting views.
