What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke, traditionalist documentary. "The First World War" prioritizes history and authenticity over modern ideological concerns. Pluralism is maintained and narrative integrity is preserved.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The documentary is focused squarely on historical events, actual participants, and primary sources. Identity politics and modern ideological themes are almost completely absent, with casting and storytelling choices aimed at authenticity rather than forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats the institutions of the early 20th century, family, religion, the roles of men and women, with historical accuracy. There’s no real subversion or revisionism; it presents the values and attitudes of the era without imposing contemporary views.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While there is some implicit modern framing (as with most documentaries made in the 21st century), the series makes an effort to present multiple perspectives and avoids heavy-handed villainization or monocultural messaging.
