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

Surprisingly non-woke for a fantasy epic, The 10th Kingdom sticks with classical fairy tale storytelling, keeps its politics in the background, and avoids the ideological pitfalls of today’s Hollywood. A refreshing throwback, if you can handle the cheese.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 10th Kingdom centers on traditional fairytale tropes, with character arcs focused more on personal growth than identity politics. Diversity is not forced, and casting feels organic to the fantastical setting. Narrative remains the focus, rather than soapboxing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The mini-series generally celebrates classic fairy tale themes like family, redemption, and the hero's journey. Gender roles are sometimes played for humor but aren't overtly subverted, and there’s hardly any cultural revisionism or mockery of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present through characters’ differing backgrounds and worldviews. The show doesn’t push a single moral narrative; instead, it offers actual debate and growth. There’s no obvious villainization of tradition or conservative themes.
