What We Think

The Virgin Queen is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It delivers historical drama with minimal meddling from ideological trends, keeping narrative and character at the forefront and avoiding heavy-handed revisionism or monocultural messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The Virgin Queen focuses on the historical figure of Elizabeth I, with casting and storylines largely adhering to established history. Characters are portrayed with complexity and nuance rather than mere ideological statements. Forced representation and hyper-competence aren't overwhelming features here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show highlights a powerful female monarch, it doesn't go out of its way to mock masculinity, family, or religion. If anything, traditional authority and religious conflict are portrayed according to their historical context, though some scenes may naturally critique the era’s moral norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series presents both Tudor-era and modern perspectives but doesn't demonize traditional views outright. It occasionally leans into contemporary feminist themes, but alternative views aren’t completely sidelined or turned into caricatures.
