What We Think

Red Dwarf (2010) sticks to its roots as an offbeat, sometimes crude sci-fi comedy with minimum woke interference. It's about the laughs, not lecturing viewers, making it one of the least woke options from the modern BBC lineup.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Red Dwarf has always focused on character-driven comedy and sci-fi absurdity. The 2010 era continues this trend, with casting, character arcs, and storytelling choices sticking to established personalities. It doesn't shoehorn in identity issues or sacrifice the narrative for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show lampoons nearly everything, but it doesn't go out of its way to mock traditional values or push anti-family, anti-religion messaging. Masculinity, for instance, is played for laughs equally with other traits, and there's no agenda-driven revisionism of culture or history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Red Dwarf's humor is rooted in irreverence and subverting expectations, but it doesn't aggressively villainize alternative viewpoints or enforce a moral monoculture. There’s space for eccentricity and varied personalities, avoiding the 'everyone thinks the same way' trap.
