What We Think

"Granite Flats" is a rare example of a non-woke, family-friendly period piece. Its commitment to story, traditional values, and ideological balance keeps it far removed from modern Hollywood trends. If you miss when TV was more about storytelling than scoring social points, this one's for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Granite Flats" generally avoids the usual pitfalls of modern identity-focused casting and storyline choices. Characters seem driven by their roles within the story and the Cold War setting, not by forced diversity or contemporary talking points. The narrative is more interested in mystery and Americana than in pushing any overt ideological angle, making for a refreshingly straightforward experience.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upholds classic themes: family, small-town life, personal responsibility, and morality without undercutting traditional structures. Religion and morality are treated with respect, and traditional gender roles aren't subverted for shock value. If anything, "Granite Flats" leans into nostalgia for these values rather than tearing them down.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of ideological monoculture here. Alternative and traditional perspectives are not villainized, in fact, the setting encourages a plurality of views and respectful debate. The narrative doesn't flatten everyone into the same worldview, nor does it caricature dissenters.
