What We Think

‘Mussolini – Son of the Century’ comes across as primarily a historical character drama, not a vehicle for modern woke ideology. While not immune to some revisionist touches, it prioritizes story and complex characters over check-the-box representation or ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Based on early descriptions, the show appears to focus on historical drama and character complexity more than shoehorning modern identity politics into its narrative. The casting emphasizes period authenticity over forced diversity. If anything, it’s more interested in its infamous subject than superficial representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While the series deals with a controversial historical figure, it seems to engage with themes of tradition, power, and ideology without outright dismissing cultural foundations. There may be some revisionism for modern audiences, but it doesn’t seem overtly hostile to cultural heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

As with most recent period dramas, there’s likely a tilt toward modern moral perspectives, particularly in how Mussolini and fascism are condemned. However, the show reportedly tries for nuance, avoiding pure caricature. Diverse perspectives within the era may be somewhat underexplored.
