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 White Princess' takes some liberties in service of female empowerment, but keeps its feet, if not both, at least one, firmly planted in the historical era. It leans woke, but not egregiously so by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'The White Princess' remains rooted in its historical setting, you can spot some modern sensibilities peeking through, especially in how female characters are foregrounded with contemporary attitudes. However, it largely avoids outright agenda-pushing or swapping out historical realities to make ideological points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The series puts strong-willed women front and center, occasionally at the expense of realistic portrayals of family structure and gender norms in the late 1400s. Masculinity takes a backseat in favor of promoting a certain revisionist empowerment narrative, but it never fully abandons its historical context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Modern feminist perspectives dominate, and traditional views often get sidelined or presented unsympathetically. Still, there’s occasional nuance, with some characters embodying conventional outlooks. It’s not a total echo chamber, but let’s just say alternative viewpoints aren’t exactly celebrated.
