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

Turbulent Skies soars above the current Hollywood trend, sticking largely to historical realism without turning into a vehicle for ideological messaging. For those tired of overtly “woke” narratives, this is a refreshingly non-woke watch.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Turbulent Skies focuses on the rivalry and innovation in Dutch aviation, emphasizing character-driven storytelling over box-ticking diversity. Casting and plot decisions feel grounded in historical context rather than modern identity agendas. There's little sense of narrative being sacrificed for forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show depicts early 20th-century Dutch society without anachronistically criticizing traditional values, family structure, or religion. Masculinity is shown as complex but not demonized, and historical gender roles are presented with some nuance. No major attempts at cultural revisionism are evident.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There appears to be a fair representation of different perspectives and motivations among characters, consistent with the time period. Dissenting views are presented with some sympathy, and there’s no noticeable agenda-driven villainization of alternatives.
