Rick Steves' Europe2000

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Rick Steves' Europe keeps things classic and lets viewers appreciate European cultures on their own terms. It rarely indulges in the modern ideological trends we see elsewhere, refreshingly non-woke for today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is focused on straightforward, informative travel content. There’s little evidence identity politics or ideological casting are affecting the narrative, it’s mainly Rick Steves visiting European sites and discussing culture and history, not pushing diversity for the sake of it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, tradition, and local customs are typically treated respectfully and as integral parts of the cultures visited. The series explores churches, cathedrals, and religious traditions with a positive, sometimes even admiring tone. No major attempts to undermine Europe’s cultural heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show naturally focuses on travel, it doesn’t mock or villainize traditional perspectives. There’s some generic praise of inclusivity, but rarely does it showcase ideological uniformity or push specific agendas. Different viewpoints are usually given a fair shake.
