Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is built around strong, individual characters rather than ticking diversity boxes. Its controversial lead, Alf Garnett, is defined by personality and opinion, not demographic checklists. The narrative is generally consistent and not bent to serve modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it satirizes traditional views, it seldom outright mocks masculinity, religion, or family. Instead, it sparks conversation by airing contentious opinions, holding a mirror up to society rather than rewriting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative and even offensive worldviews are front and center, portrayed in all their flawed glory. The show thrives on debate and clash, rather than presenting a single moral perspective.
