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

“Lilies” largely sidesteps modern woke trends, offering a period drama rooted in its setting. It depicts social issues without excessive revisionism or preachiness, making it a refreshingly non-woke choice by current standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Lilies” focuses primarily on compelling character-driven stories set in 1920s Liverpool. While it includes a range of characters and touches on class and gender, storytelling remains grounded in the time period and avoids overt identity politics by today’s standards. Forced representation isn’t front-and-center.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show addresses issues like family, religion, and gender dynamics true to the era. It sometimes challenges traditional roles, but does so with nuance, not heavy-handed subversion. Religion and family aren’t merely targets or punchlines.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

“Lilies” explores a variety of perspectives within a conservative, working-class environment. Even when questioning norms, it avoids one-sided caricatures. There’s some critique of tradition, but not to the degree seen in more recent, agenda-driven shows.
