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

Sanditon is a period drama with plenty of modern winks that compromise its narrative authenticity and historical roots. While not quite at the extreme woke end, it leans heavily in that direction, especially in terms of its values and casting choices.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Sanditon definitely sprinkles in modern sensibilities, notably with its diverse casting in a historically English setting. Character choices and motivations often seem driven more by contemporary concerns than period authenticity, which disrupts immersion and feels forced at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series frequently subverts traditional gender roles and morality. Classic virtues and social structures (marriage, religion, family) are often challenged or reinterpreted, and the show tends to elevate modern attitudes above period-appropriate values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While not the worst culprit, Sanditon’s worldview skews heavily modern. Dissenting, traditional characters are rarely given sympathetic arcs, and alternative perspectives mostly show up as obstacles rather than sincere viewpoints. There’s little real pluralism here.
