What We Think

Requiem avoids the usual 'woke' pitfalls, focusing on story and atmosphere rather than dogmatic messaging. Its characters and plot feel rooted in genuine dramatic tension rather than ideological agendas. A rare non-woke exception from modern British TV.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Requiem prioritizes its supernatural mystery over ticking identity boxes. Characters are built on their roles in the story rather than identity traits. There's no obvious sign that merit was sidelined in favor of forced representation, and character arcs generally unfold naturally.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series respects traditional motifs, rural communities, family secrets, and the supernatural, without undermining religion, family, or masculinity. While modern in presentation, it doesn't gleefully invert tradition for ideological points, keeping its critique subtle and narrative-driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Requiem allows for multiple viewpoints within the plot. Characters express and wrestle with fear, faith, and skepticism, showing a diversity of response rather than everyone aligning on one set of fashionable beliefs. There’s room for debate and pluralism.
