What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke adaptation, this series lets the original Christie mystery shine without modern ideological overlays. Traditional storytelling, respect for period culture, and authentic character work keep it firmly in non-woke territory.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This adaptation remains firmly rooted in Agatha Christie’s original work, focusing on suspense, character depth, and period-appropriate nuance. There's little sign that cast or plot choices are driven by modern ideological concerns or checking boxes for representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, period customs, and cultural touchstones are portrayed as expected for a 1920s/1930s British setting. There’s no noticeable attempt to undermine religion, family, or traditional gender roles. The show respects the cultural foundations of its source material.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse perspectives exist within the plot due to the source material, focusing on morality, guilt, and justice, not modern ideological battlegrounds. Viewers aren’t bludgeoned with one-sided messaging; instead, characters possess complex, period-consistent motives and beliefs.
