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 Crown" leans more towards traditional storytelling with only a mild dash of modern sensibility. If one is bracing for a woke agenda, they’ll mostly just get a lavish, gossipy take on the royals with some light revisionism along the way.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

For most of its run, "The Crown" respects character depth and historical narrative, not sacrificing story for modern ideological boxes. The emphasis is largely on personal struggle, duty, and palace intrigue, rather than identity politics or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While the show does portray some traditional values and institutions with nuance and even admiration, it also pokes at the monarchy’s old-fashioned values and occasionally treats faith or family as restrictive. Still, outright subversion is limited.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternate perspectives are acknowledged, and dissent is present within the royal family itself, sometimes even respected. There’s criticism, but not full-scale villainization of traditional views. Some modern moral assumptions creep in, but they are balanced with context.
