The Alfred Hitchcock Hour1962

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

'The Alfred Hitchcock Hour' is about as non-woke as television gets. Storytelling takes clear priority over ideology, and you won't find Hollywood's modern obsessions shoehorned into the suspense. Classic, sincere, and refreshingly apolitical.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on suspenseful storytelling with plots driven by character actions, motives, and moral dilemmas, not identity politics. Casting and character arcs reflect the norms of its time, with no obvious prioritization of diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures, religion, and classic moral themes are treated seriously or as narrative backdrops. Masculinity, morality, and social institutions aren't turned on their heads for ideology's sake, so, very little undermining here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show's era ensures mostly traditional American worldviews; alternative perspectives are minimal, but that's a function of the time period, not an effort to enforce modern ideological conformity. There's little evidence of mocking dissenters or pushing a singular woke narrative.
