Our VerdictNot Woke

Mr. Benn1971

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

Mr. Benn is essentially the anti-woke children’s program, gently traditional, charmingly apolitical, and utterly uninterested in social engineering. It stands as a textbook example of how to tell stories without lecturing or virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr. Benn is a charming, simple series where storytelling takes precedence. Characters are rooted in classic archetypes and the narratives are driven by imagination rather than ideology. There’s no evidence that casting or character identity is emphasized over merit or personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show maintains a very traditional sense of British civility and courtesy. Masculinity, family, and morality are quietly celebrated in each episode’s lessons. There’s no attempt to subvert traditional roles or rewrite history to suit modern perspectives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s an absence of overt ideological messaging. The series invites a spirit of adventure and wonder rather than pushing any modern monoculture view. Differences are explored gently, and the show is open-ended and pluralistic in tone.
