What We Think

SS-GB is refreshingly non-woke. It sticks to its source material and period setting, avoids forced diversity or revisionism, and focuses on telling an engaging, morally complex story without lecturing the audience on modern ideologies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

SS-GB is largely faithful to Len Deighton's novel and prioritizes storytelling over identity politics. Characters are developed based on their roles within an alternate-history thriller. There’s no glaring evidence that casting or narrative choices were dictated by modern ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series deals seriously with British cultural elements, duty, patriotism, and moral conflict in wartime. Traditional institutions are not mocked or reinterpreted for contemporary reasons. Religious, familial, and masculine themes are treated respectfully and realistically for the period setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

SS-GB allows some range of viewpoints, with characters negotiating moral ambiguity under occupation. There’s no strong evidence of villainizing dissent or enforcing a singular ideological perspective. Most conflicts are contextualized within the WWII alternate history rather than modern ideological debates.
