Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Inside No. 9 is known for its strong anthology storytelling, creative twists, and focus on character-driven narratives rather than identity politics. Casting and character arcs emphasize skill and plot over diversity checklists, rarely falling into the 'forced representation' trap.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series occasionally pokes fun at British customs or morality, it's typically in the service of dark humor, not an overt agenda. Traditional values, family, and even religion are mostly used to enrich story or create surprises, not to be ridiculed, subverted, or rewritten.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show thrives on subverting expectations, portraying a broad range of perspectives, and often leaving morality ambiguous. There's no heavy-handed ideological conformity; if anything, it’s nonconformist by design, giving space for nuanced viewpoints, including those outside the current mainstream.
