What We Think

Generation War steers clear of modern ‘woke’ tropes, instead delivering a complex, if dramatized, portrayal of a difficult time in German history. While not perfect, it avoids heavy-handed identity politics or revisionism, making it a rarity these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Generation War focuses primarily on character-driven stories set during WWII and avoids inserting modern identity politics or emphasizing characters’ traits over their roles as Germans in a historical context. Forced representation and implausible ‘superhero’ traits are refreshingly absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Generation War doesn’t idolize traditional values, it doesn’t overtly condemn religion, family, or masculinity. The show seems interested in the moral complexities faced by its characters rather than using the setting to demonize cultural or historical foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series offers multiple perspectives, including criticism of both the Nazis and Soviet communism, so it doesn’t enforce an obvious ideological monoculture. Alternative and even disagreeable viewpoints are explored, not caricatured.
