What We Think

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries isn’t aggressively woke by today’s standards, but it injects a hearty dose of modern ideology into its period setting. It bends history for progressive flair, but avoids the worst excesses of current Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries spotlights a highly independent, gleefully transgressive female lead in 1920s Australia. While entertaining, it does lean into modern feminist ideals over strict historical authenticity. At times, character skills and narrative tension take a back seat to showcasing Miss Fisher’s progressive attitudes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show playfully subverts traditional gender and family roles, and regularly downplays conservative attitudes. Masculinity is often depicted as bumbling or secondary to Miss Fisher’s prowess, with conventional religion and morality given little weight or even playfully mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most major characters echo modern values. Dissenters are typically narrow-minded caricatures, with little in the way of genuinely pluralistic debate. Alternative viewpoints are usually presented only to be corrected by Miss Fisher’s enlightened perspective.
