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

Agent Carter isn't the wokest show around, but it checks most of the boxes: gender-focused storytelling, reshaping mid-century culture for modern sensibilities, and scant appreciation for differing viewpoints. Fun and stylish, but the message is very much the main character.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Agent Carter puts identity front-and-center, with Peggy Carter often solving problems through competence that some viewers may view as unrealistically overplayed for the era. While overall storytelling remains engaging, there's a clear effort to highlight gender as a defining character challenge – arguably at the expense of deeper flaws or tests.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, particularly 1940s expectations regarding women in the workplace, are openly critiqued and subverted. Men are frequently shown as obstacles or out-of-touch, while female empowerment is the show's obvious theme. Family and religion are mostly sidelined, replaced with messages about defying the status quo.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The show is rather singular in its moral message: standing against sexism is presented as the only valid perspective, without much nuance given to traditional worldviews. Most opposition is painted as crude or unsympathetic, with little voice for characters representing alternative values.
