What We Think

A rare non-woke entry. 'Michael Palin in North Korea' keeps the focus squarely on travel, culture, and observation, free of the usual modern ideological overlays. Old-school and refreshingly apolitical.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series focuses on Michael Palin's firsthand travel experiences and observations in North Korea. There's no evident focus on identity politics or forced diversity, it's a classic travelogue where storytelling comes first, not the promotion of ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Palin explores North Korean society respectfully but without overtly undermining Western culture, traditions, or faith. If anything, the series prompts viewers to reflect on their own freedoms through gentle comparison rather than agenda-driven messaging.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show maintains a mostly neutral or observational tone. While critical views of North Korea's regime are present, there is no agenda to villainize alternative or traditional Western viewpoints. Political or ideological monoculture is not pushed here.
