What We Think

While it features strong female leads, 'The House of Eliott' treats its characters with nuance and stays true to its period. Any nods to progressive themes are softly handled and secondary to storytelling, making it refreshingly non-woke by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on two sisters navigating the fashion world in 1920s London. While it focuses on female protagonists, their struggles and successes feel grounded in character development rather than contemporary identity politics. Forced representation is minimal, and narrative choices seem era-appropriate.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family, ambition, and traditional values are central to the story, without obvious efforts to deconstruct or mock religion, masculinity, or the family unit. If anything, it celebrates perseverance and sisterly bonds rather than subverting gender roles outright.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show presents multiple perspectives on class, gender, and ambition without cartoonish villainy or one-sided moralizing. Period-appropriate challenges are explored without turning dissenters into caricatures. There's enough nuance to avoid accusations of ideological uniformity.
