What We Think

The Great Train Robbery (2013) is about as non-woke as modern BBC dramas get. It respects its era, avoids preachy identity politics, and focuses on crime, consequences, and competent storytelling rather than checking off modern ideological boxes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show sticks closely to historical facts and centers on the actual criminals and detectives of the Great Train Robbery. There's no apparent agenda-driven reimagining or conspicuous modern identity casting. Characters seem chosen based on their fit for the roles rather than diversity quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional elements such as family, morality, and British law enforcement are depicted in a complex but respectful manner. There’s no heavy-handed attempt to undermine masculinity, religion, or classic cultural themes. The setting and tone are consistent with the historical period depicted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This drama appears grounded in its era, allowing for differing motivations and perspectives among its characters, both criminal and police. It doesn't use its storytelling as a soapbox to vilify traditional perspectives, nor does it reduce dissenting voices to caricature.
