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 Hour is more concerned with period-appropriate drama than ticking modern ideological boxes. It leans into realism most of the time, with only mild nods to contemporary ideas, making it relatively non-woke by current standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Hour largely emphasizes strong writing, character depth, and period-appropriate drama. Diversity and identity take a backseat to plot and character arcs rooted in the era's realism. While some modern perspectives are present, they do not override the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show addresses topics like gender in journalism, but traditional institutions such as family and religion aren't blatantly undermined. There's some critique of masculinity and social norms, but it fits the historical setting rather than overtly subverting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While progressive ideas appear in the narrative, alternative viewpoints aren't painted as wholly villainous. There's room for debate and tension, reflecting the complexity of the era rather than enforcing modern ideological conformity.
