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

Grantchester is refreshingly non-woke, respecting traditional values without shoehorning in modern ideological agendas. A rare example of a show where the story, not activism, comes first.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Grantchester largely maintains traditional storytelling, focusing on well-developed characters and intriguing mysteries rather than box-ticking diversity or ideological detours. Identity is not forcibly foregrounded over skill, personality, or narrative tension, as the vicar and detective dynamic drives the show.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series shows respect for religion and grapples with moral questions in a nuanced way. While it does occasionally question tradition, it doesn’t undermine foundational pillars like family, faith, or masculinity. Traditional values are treated seriously, not as caricatures or obstacles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is some mild critique of social norms, but the show offers multiple perspectives, including traditional and skeptical. Dissenting views are not simply mocked or villainized; instead, they are explored thoughtfully as part of the dramatic tension.
