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

Unlike much of 2020s TV, 'The Reckoning' avoids overtly woke conventions, sticking closely to the historical subject matter instead of modern ideological lecturing. A rare example of non-woke restraint.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'The Reckoning' focuses on recounting real events around Jimmy Savile rather than shoehorning identity politics or forced diversity. Characters are driven by realism and historical context, with minimal evidence of narrative being sacrificed for modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

While the show scrutinizes institutions like the BBC and elements of British cultural trust, it mostly sticks to exposing failings specific to the case, rather than launching an all-out assault on tradition, masculinity, or religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, including the complicity of authorities and enablers. There is a focus on the historical record, and the villains here are tied strictly to real, egregious crimes rather than being caricatures of traditional society.
