What We Think

Project Blue Book mostly steers well clear of woke pitfalls, preferring genuine historical drama to ideology. Any modern sensibilities are subtle and don't overshadow the story. A rare sight these days, a non-woke treat.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Project Blue Book appears to focus on character depth and suspenseful storytelling rather than box-ticking for diversity. Historical context drives the casting and narrative, keeping characters' identities secondary to their roles. There’s minimal evidence of forced representation or overly flawless diverse leads.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats 1950s American culture, masculinity, family, and religion in a manner consistent with the period. It doesn't subvert gender roles or rewrite history to suit modern sensibilities, if anything, it leans into the era’s norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are a mix of skeptical and believer perspectives, with plenty of tension and debate. The series doesn’t push one worldview and presents traditional viewpoints respectfully, without strawman caricatures or demonization.
