Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1998 'Worst Witch' leans into classic British children's fantasy with a focus on friendship and magical misadventure. Characters are portrayed with personalities rooted in their individual quirks, not boxes to check for modern identity politics. Casting choices and story arcs prioritize charm and competence instead of forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship, perseverance, and mentorship are front-and-center, with no overt undermining of family, morality, or cultural traditions. The show doesn’t mock masculinity or rewrite historical norms, if anything, it preserves a quaint, almost old-fashioned school setting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no clear attempts to villainize alternative worldviews or push a singular modern ideology. Characters display a range of temperaments, and internal conflicts revolve around personal growth, not lectures on identity.
