What We Think

A breath of non-wokeness, Richard Hammond’s Workshop is a haven from identity-driven storytelling. If you want character, craft, and cars without lectures or social engineering, this show delivers big time.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on Richard Hammond and his team building and restoring classic cars. Identity politics are basically absent; casting, storyline, and character interactions are merit-based and focused on craftsman skill. No sign of forced representation or unrealistic characterizations. Narrative remains refreshingly grounded and authentic.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This is as non-woke as it gets: traditional family, small business, skill, and masculinity are front and center, and treated with genuine respect. No subversion of gender roles, no out-of-place commentary on religion, family, or morality. It’s old-school in the best sense.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no grand ideological message here. While it doesn’t overtly platform dissenting worldviews, it doesn’t villainize tradition, either. The show is comfortably pluralistic in that characters are just regular people working together, not mouthpieces for any ideology.
