Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Poldark (1975) is very much a product of its time. Casting fits the period, and identity factors are not pushed over actual character development. Characters are fleshed out with strengths and flaws, with no obvious ideological tinkering detracting from the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation keeps traditional values at its core. Family, religion, and traditional gender roles drive the plot, and there's little to no effort to undermine them or rewrite them for modern sensibilities. Masculinity is portrayed without mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While non-traditional worldviews are largely absent, this reflects the period setting, not any attempt to silence dissent, just honest historical fidelity. Characters represent a natural spectrum for the time, so there’s minimal evidence of forced ideological sameness.
