What We Think

Old-school storytelling shines here. 'The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes' avoids today's ideological landmines, staying refreshingly non-woke from start to finish. A great reminder of what TV used to be like before the checklist brigade showed up.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show remains remarkably true to the original stories. Casting choices reflect the Victorian era without shoehorning modern identity politics. Character depth comes from writing, not from checking diversity boxes. This is a rare show where narrative integrity comes before any hint of forced ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship, loyalty, and intellect are front-and-center. Masculine traits aren't criticized or mocked; instead, they're celebrated, as are elements of British culture and history. The series doesn't try to lecture or subvert established customs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the worldview is mostly traditional, that matches the source material. Alternative perspectives are rare only because the stories follow Holmes and Watson in Victorian England. There's no active villainization of dissent or glorification of modern ideology.
