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

A refreshingly non-woke period piece. 'Jack the Ripper' keeps focused on narrative and historical context instead of modern political statements. A nice palate cleanser for anyone tired of today’s endless virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1988 'Jack the Ripper' miniseries sticks closely to its historical narrative, placing emphasis on character motivation over identity politics. Any casting decisions seem primarily driven by the needs of the story and historical accuracy, not modern representation mandates.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values and period-specific attitudes are portrayed as products of their time without revisionism. Masculinity, religion, and family are presented in-line with historical fact, without any overt attempt to undermine or mock them through a modern lens.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are presented as part of the authentic historical context. The show does not mock or villainize perspectives of the time, nor does it promote a singular, contemporary moral outlook.
