Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mária Terézia delivers a largely traditional historical narrative focused on period accuracy. Identity politics are not the main focus; character motivations and arcs are rooted in the historical context. Casting and character traits appear motivated by fit within the actual era, making this a refreshingly non-woke exercise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series explores historical monarchy, faith, and family as essential to the characters’ lives. Traditional gender roles are depicted with some nuance, but not subverted to make modern statements. If anything, the show reflects cultural foundations rather than undermining them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative and traditional worldviews aren’t vilified or mocked. Debate and internal conflict reflect period-appropriate themes, rather than a modern ideological monoculture. The show resists the current trend of portraying tradition as inherently villainous.
