Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Neverwhere keeps its focus on storytelling and world-building without heavy-handed identity politics. Characters are defined more by their quirks and backgrounds than checkbox representation. There's little sense that ideology overrides plot or character development. Overall, the narrative remains intact and uncorrupted by modern woke trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series plays with themes of alienation and class but largely stays clear of anti-traditional jabs. Masculine, feminine, religious, and cultural elements aren’t depicted as outdated or villainous. The show’s approach feels more whimsical and fantastical than deconstructive or revisionist.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Neverwhere presents a broad spectrum of eccentric personalities, few of whom embody any overt ideological stance. Diverse viewpoints and motives exist among the characters, and dissent or tradition isn’t reduced to mere caricature. There’s little evidence of an enforced modern monoculture.
