Sapphire & Steel1979

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

Sapphire & Steel represents a largely non-woke era of television, focusing on enigmatic storytelling over ideology or identity politics. Absolutely minimal wokeness detected.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Sapphire & Steel is a product of its time: character focus is on competency and personality rather than overt identity politics. There is minimal emphasis on diversity for diversity’s sake, and the storylines drive the show, not social messaging. Any breaking of tradition (like Sapphire being a female lead) is handled with subtlety and rooted in narrative function.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show does not actively undermine themes like family, masculinity, or tradition. If anything, it leans into classic British sci-fi values. There are no attacks on religion or culture, nor does it aggressively promote modern reinterpretations of gender or social constructs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the worldview is somewhat neutral and there is little debate about contemporary ideological issues, there is also no evidence of mockery or villainizing of traditional values. The tone is mystical and ambiguous rather than didactic.
