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

“Wannous” is a refreshing departure from the typical woke-driven narratives seen in much of contemporary media, firmly grounded in tradition, and relatively untouched by identity politics. This is about as non-woke as current TV can get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

From what’s known, “Wannous” is rooted in traditional Arab folklore, with character focus on motivations and consequences, not forced identity politics. It doesn’t shoehorn in modern identity themes, and narrative integrity isn’t sacrificed for the sake of woke signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans into cultural and religious themes, using the Devil-figure and family structures as foundational elements. Instead of undermining tradition, it frames religious morality and social norms as key storytelling devices, staying largely true to regional sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially traditional and religious ones, are depicted with nuance. There’s little sense of ideological conformity to modern Western progressive assumptions, and dissenting views are not simply caricatured or mocked.
