What We Think

The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog is a refreshingly non-woke example from the late '90s. It’s built around mythology, adventure, and straightforward heroics, with minimal intrusion from modern ideological trends. Good, old-fashioned fantasy fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog keeps its focus on classic hero’s journey tropes and fantasy action, with character abilities and plotlines grounded more in legend than in identity politics. There is little evidence of forced representation or the overwriting of story in favor of ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show draws heavily from Celtic mythology and classic themes of good versus evil. While it occasionally modernizes some roles, it largely respects traditional heroic archetypes and cultural motifs, rather than deconstructing them for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little in the way of overt ideological messaging; the show doesn’t ridicule traditional values or portray dissent as villainous. The cast includes both male and female heroes, but without excessive sermonizing on gender or social issues.
