Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Forsyte Saga' (2002) maintains strong narrative integrity, remaining largely faithful to its source material. The focus is on complex characters and family dynamics, not on modern identity politics or forced representation. Any choices around casting or character arcs are in service to the story rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series explores themes like marriage, family, and tradition, generally reflecting the values of its setting. There’s no overt attempt to undermine religion, masculinity, or traditional morality, if anything, it sets these as central points of tension and character development.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are presented through nuanced characters rather than caricatures. While it reflects early 20th-century British society, there’s no sense that dissenting perspectives are uniformly villainized or erased. The show values complexity over ideological messaging.
