What We Think

Riphagen is a steadfast period drama that respects historical nuance, keeps modern ideological distractions at bay, and lets the story stand on character and era-appropriate conflict. Non-woke viewers will find little to irritate them here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Riphagen focuses strongly on its titular historical figure, with characters written for period authenticity rather than for identity box-checking. There’s no sign of shoehorned diversity or modern ideological insertions into the main story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as themes of family, morality, and religion, are addressed in the context of WWII-era Netherlands. These aspects are neither mocked nor turned into soapboxes for present-day ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show maintains a largely historical perspective, portraying resistance, collaboration, and a variety of choices and outlooks, rather than flattening the world into a single modern ideology.
