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 Body Farm is about as non-woke as a modern BBC crime procedural gets. There’s little evidence of forced representation or narrative hiatuses for ideological messaging. Most viewers looking for a break from the Hollywood “message machine” will find little to ruffle their feathers here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Body Farm, typical of early 2010s British crime drama, largely prioritizes plot and character skill over identity markers. Casting choices and character arcs focus more on forensic science and crime-solving than shoehorned ideology. There may be some modern sensibilities, but nothing egregiously forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional institutions like family, religion, and masculinity are neither undermined nor excessively foregrounded. The show keeps its focus firmly on criminal investigation, with minimal commentary on social values or attempts to revise cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While progressive attitudes are present, common for its time, alternative viewpoints aren’t overtly mocked or villainized. There’s a basic expectation of professionalism and tolerance, not a soapbox for ideology. Any lack of diversity in worldview is incidental, not heavy-handed.
