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 Julekalender is about as non-woke as you can get in modern entertainment. It’s a silly, old-fashioned Christmas show with jokes focused on character quirks, tradition, and surreal humor, almost no agenda in sight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Julekalender tells a quirky Christmas story without fixating on modern identity politics. Characters are played for comedy, with little emphasis on identity over personality or skill. Any diversity present seems in service of humor and story, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show leans heavily into traditional Christmas themes, folk culture, and even pokes harmless fun at old customs. Masculinity, religion, and family are depicted in their classic, if eccentric, forms. There's no sense that tradition is under attack here, just playful nostalgia.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable ideological uniformity or heavy-handed mocking of alternative views. The show is more interested in whimsical nonsense and slapstick than enforcing a worldview, though it largely operates within and gently parodies the dominant cultural norms of rural Norway.
