What We Think

‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?’ offers a refreshingly non-woke period adaptation, respecting Christie’s material and refraining from ideological overreach. Traditional storytelling takes priority over modern political messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is a faithful Agatha Christie adaptation with narrative centering on mystery, clever plotting, and classic character development. The cast choices and writing remain true to the period with little overt emphasis on modern identity politics. In our view, character personality and skill, not identity, drive the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as friendship, loyalty, and moral curiosity are key throughout. There is little in the way of overt subversion of family, religion, or classic gender roles. The period setting, in our reading, is handled with respect for its original context, no culture-bending revisionism on display.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show doesn’t go out of its way to present pluralism, it also doesn’t villainize tradition or dissent. Most of the worldviews presented feel authentic for the time; alternative perspectives aren’t lampooned. If anything, the social landscape is delightfully un-woke.
