What We Think

“Joseph” (1995) is about as non-woke as it gets these days. Loyal to its biblical roots, it avoids the usual pitfalls of modern adaptation, respecting tradition and faith without shoehorning in ideological subtext. A rare throwback to storytelling focused on classic values.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Joseph” (1995) largely sticks to its biblical source material, focusing on character, faith, and adversity rather than modern identity topics. There’s no obvious emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality that feels out of place. Narrative choices seem to serve the story, not contemporary ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upholds religious, familial, and moral themes central to its Genesis origins. Traditional gender roles are preserved, and faith is depicted with respect. There’s no indication that the story tries to undermine or modernize core cultural or religious values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or skeptical perspectives aren’t really explored, but given the historical and biblical setting, this feels authentic rather than forced. Villains and heroes fall within the original story’s moral universe without contemporary ideology tacked on.
