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

Secret Army remains impressively non-woke by today's standards. Its storytelling and character focus are authentic, with little sign of modern ideological interference or revisionism. An old-school approach that lets the drama, and not the sociopolitical lectures, take center stage.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on realistic, complex portrayals of resistance fighters during WWII, with characters’ actions and dilemmas driving the story instead of modern identity politics. Casting and character arcs appear rooted in authenticity and context, not forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like duty, sacrifice, and family loyalties are depicted with nuance and, in our view, respect. Masculinity and heroism are neither mocked nor subverted, and religious or cultural institutions aren't undermined to push any fashionable agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show takes an anti-Nazi stance (as expected given the historical context), it offers a range of perspectives within the resistance and collaborating groups. There’s little evidence of enforced ideological uniformity common in modern 'woke' productions.
