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 Red Green Show is essentially allergic to woke trends. It champions traditional values and easygoing humor over heavy-handed messages. No shame in loving duct tape and manly mishaps around Possum Lodge, this is as non-woke as it gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Red Green Show is practically a time capsule of the pre-woke era. Characters are chosen for their comedic value and fit the working-class, rural Canadian setting naturally, no box-ticking here. Very little is sacrificed for ideology, unless you count duct tape worship as a belief system.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show pokes gentle fun at masculinity, family, and old-school rural values, but it’s all in good humor. Tradition is celebrated, not ridiculed or subverted. Honestly, if anything, it embraces old-fashioned notions with a wink, not a lecture in sight.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear worldview rooted in rural, blue-collar normalcy, but the show offers lighthearted ribbing rather than demonizing alternatives. It doesn’t bother preaching ideology at viewers, nor does it caricature dissenters, unless you count city folks who can’t fix a car.
