What We Think

'Our Girl' flirts with 'woke' themes by promoting a female lead in the army but balances those with genuine character flaws and respect for tradition. It leans modern but avoids crossing the line into outright ideological preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Our Girl' focuses on a female lead in the British Army, her character is developed with personal flaws and growth. However, the choice to center the story on gender dynamics within the military sometimes feels more like a statement than a plot necessity, with certain scenarios highlighting identity over skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show gently challenges traditional gender roles by putting a woman front and center in a traditionally male space. Still, it generally maintains respect for military values and camaraderie, not outright undermining cultural foundations but nudging the boundaries a bit.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t caricatured, and military traditions are portrayed with nuance. Some promotion of modern feminist values is present, but there’s still space for debate and multiple viewpoints from the military team, so it's not a total echo chamber.
