What We Think

William and Mary is practically a non-woke oasis by today’s standards. Its commitment to character-driven stories over modern ideological trends makes it a standout example of earnest TV from a saner era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

William and Mary largely centers on real, flawed human beings, not boxes to be ticked for diversity. The story focuses on the peculiar romance between an undertaker and a midwife, no obvious evidence of forced diversity casting or identity politics defining characters. Complex personalities come first, which is, refreshingly, how storytelling should be.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series respects themes of family, love, and even masculinity through its odd-couple leads. Traditional roles aren't subverted for the sake of a message. If anything, it highlights how quirky, ordinary people navigate life. Religion and heritage are simply part of the backdrop, not something to lampoon or rewrite.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Differences in worldview and background between the main characters are presented sincerely, not just as a punchline or strawman. There’s no obvious campaign to ridicule tradition or promote a singular ideology. Pluralism and disagreement are part of the heartfelt humor and conflicts.
