What We Think

‘Stephen Fry in America’ is a refreshingly non-woke romp through the United States. The series is more interested in genuine cultural discovery than in promoting ideological narratives. It scores very low on the woke scale, an old-school travel series with some charm.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Stephen Fry in America’ is fundamentally a travelogue focused on exploring diverse American regions and cultures. There’s no significant evidence that narrative or casting is bent for ideological purposes. The series centers around authentic experiences and interactions, not forced representation or performative diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Fry often shows genuine curiosity and respect towards American traditions, family dynamics, and religious practices. The show presents cultural foundations as interesting and, at times, endearing. There is little, if any, undercutting or mockery of traditional values or American heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show generally reflects Fry’s personal worldview, it gives space to a range of American perspectives. Alternative viewpoints are encountered and usually treated with good humor or sensitivity rather than derision, though there’s light British cheekiness at times.
