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

Moriarty the Patriot focuses on class-driven drama without indulging in modern woke tropes. It critiques old institutions, but mostly as historical fantasy, more Dickens than Diversity Quota. Most non-woke viewers will find it palatable.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The narrative mostly emphasizes class struggle over modern identity politics. Characters are developed for their personalities and abilities rather than as representations of current-day identity categories. There isn’t a sense that casting or depiction is driven by box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the story challenges British aristocracy and institutions, it does so using classic literature tropes rather than present-day ideological revisionism. Traditional roles and morality are critiqued, but not in a way that overtly bashes religion, masculinity, or family in a modern context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show generally stays within a class conflict narrative. That said, there's little room for sympathetic defense of traditional structures, but that doesn't translate into the kind of hyper-political monoculture seen in contemporary 'woke' works.
