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

'Gogglebox' is far from peak wokeness, instead offering a pretty genuine mix of ordinary people and their unfiltered takes. There’s variety in opinions, minimal ideology-shoving, and no obvious attempts to rewrite social or cultural norms. Refreshing, honestly.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Since 'Gogglebox' is more about ordinary people reacting to TV than scripted storytelling, there's little evidence of shoehorned ideology or forced representation. The families are diverse, but chosen for their personalities and chemistry, not just identity boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show tends to reflect British society with a range of values, including traditional family units and different ages, without overtly mocking religion, family, or masculinity. Generally, these foundations are left intact, not subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While most contributors lean modern and mainstream, the show includes various viewpoints, traditional and progressive alike. At times, conversations may reflect broader cultural trends, but significant ideological uniformity or villainization is rare.
