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

“Witch’s Court” is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. Female empowerment is present but balanced with authentic character depth, and traditional institutions are portrayed with nuance. No ideological heavy-handedness here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the lead is a strong, competent female prosecutor, her character arc includes genuine flaws, struggles, and real growth. The narrative puts her through significant challenges and doesn't simply hand her victories because of her identity. Representation feels grounded in character development instead of ideological box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and justice are not mocked or deconstructed. The show even portrays the protagonist’s strained relationship with her mother as complex, anchoring her motivations in personal history rather than ideological points. Masculinity and conventional authority figures aren’t portrayed as irredeemably toxic.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Though the system is critiqued (as in many courtroom dramas), alternative perspectives exist and aren’t simply villainized. There’s some modern leaning but nothing close to the total ideological conformity you see in more recent fare. Points lost mostly for contemporary feminist themes, but these are far from overbearing.
