What We Think

‘The Saint’ (1962) is about as non-woke as vintage TV gets. It keeps things fun, focused on classic hero tropes, and avoids all the modern boxes Hollywood likes to tick. Purists, rest easy: there’s nothing ‘woke’ here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The original 1962 ‘The Saint’ stays true to narrative and character without pushing modern identity politics or forced representation. Simon Templar’s character is defined by wit and charm, not identity boxes. No sign of box-ticking casting or distracting ideology detours to speak of.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like heroism, individualism, and subtle codes of masculinity are at the show's center. Family, religion, and tradition aren’t mocked or pathologized. If anything, these values are either taken for granted or portrayed quite neutrally.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show reflects a classic, non-woke worldview of the era. There’s a dominant status quo, sure, but alternative or traditional values aren’t mocked, they’re the starting point. Don’t expect ideological debates; it’s not a soapbox show.
