What We Think

The Mitchell and Webb Situation is refreshingly non-woke, focusing on pure comedic value without the modern obsession with identity politics or ideology. It’s the kind of show you can enjoy without bracing for a lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show puts character and humor before identity politics. Casting is merit-based, focusing on comedy performance rather than identity boxes. Storylines don’t hinge on race, gender, or sexual orientation, but rather on absurdity and wit, keeping ideological interference at bay.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Classic British sketch comedy style, poking fun at various social conventions without targeting traditional religion, family, or masculinity as inherently problematic. The humor is broad and more observational, with no real attempt at rewriting cultural norms for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s playful satire of different societal perspectives, nothing is sacred, but nothing is villainized either. Traditional viewpoints are not caricatured or straw-manned, and alternative worldviews are presented with typical British deadpan balance.
