What We Think

"The Honourable Woman" presents plenty of modern themes but balances them with strong storytelling and character-driven conflict. Any 'wokeness' present feels organic and less like box-ticking, making it more nuanced than much of contemporary TV fare. Non-woke viewers may take issue with its themes, but it’s far from the most egregious offender.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on Middle East politics and issues of gender, but does so through intense character development and a complex web of personal motives. Representation does factor into the narrative, but rarely at the expense of character depth or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, loyalty, and duty are explored and sometimes challenged, but not outright mocked or dismissed. Some may see the show as questioning Western intervention and norms, but it does so in a nuanced way, rather than blatant cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Multiple perspectives, including conflicting ideologies and motivations, are given space. While modern perspectives on power, gender, and politics are evident, there is room for internal conflict and differing viewpoints.
