What We Think

About as non-woke as you’ll find in modern British comedy. "This Country" prioritizes character and setting over ticking ideological boxes, remarkably grounded for a show from the 2017 BBC stable.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"This Country" sticks closely to rural British life, focusing on personality-driven humor rather than chasing modern identity checklists. Character depth is grounded in realism, with little emphasis on diversity boxes. Any hint of forced representation or ideology-driven casting is essentially absent here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show gently mocks rural life and some traditional values, but does not aggressively attack family, religion, or masculinity. It’s mostly observational, and subversion of cultural foundations is subtle, if present at all.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Characters express a mix of viewpoints, not handpicked from an ideological playbook. Many episodes lampoon both rural and urban pretensions. Alternative perspectives are not hyperbolically villainized or caricatured.
