Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Father Matteo focuses on telling traditional, character-driven stories without prioritizing identity politics over plot. The casting and character arcs generally fit the context of a Catholic Italian village. Forced representation and flawless diverse characters are virtually absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series is practically a love letter to faith, family, and local tradition. Religion and masculinity are taken seriously, not mocked or undermined, and the show's moral compass is rooted in longstanding cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While Father Matteo's worldview is traditional, it isn't presented with open hostility toward alternative views; dissenters are depicted without caricature. Still, pluralistic or progressive values are largely absent, so it's not exactly a festival of diversity of thought either.
