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

Jeyran is refreshingly non-woke. It respects cultural foundations, avoids the temptation to retrofit modern identity politics onto historical narratives, and lets its story speak for itself. Non-woke viewers will find little to gripe about here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jeyran is a historical Iranian drama focused on real court intrigues and romance, with casting and character arcs that stay grounded in the period. Identity politics are not forced on the narrative; character focus is on personality and story rather than contemporary ideological statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values are largely respected, family, religion, and historical customs are central. There's little evidence of undermining traditional gender roles or cultural revisionism. If anything, the show leans into Iranian cultural foundations rather than subverting them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Jeyran does not promote a singular modern ideology. Characters and perspectives reflect historical context, and the show avoids overt mockery of tradition or dissenting views. Modern progressive themes are, by and large, absent.
