What We Think

Wednesday is fairly woke, though it doesn’t go completely overboard. Representation is prioritized, gender roles are shifted, and alternative viewpoints are rare. Still, a bit of the original Addams darkness keeps it from being fully swallowed by the modern Netflix mold.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

"Wednesday" does show some signs of prioritizing quirky representation over classic Addams family dynamics. The lead’s identity often takes center stage, occasionally at the expense of cohesive storytelling. Most side characters are defined by their identity traits, but the narrative isn’t thrown completely off the rails by these choices.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and gender roles take a back seat. Masculinity is frequently mocked, and the show leans hard into modern girlboss tropes. However, familial bonds are still present, if reinterpreted, so the series isn’t a total rewrite of its heritage.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s little room for alternative or dissenting viewpoints: traditional characters are mostly one-dimensional or serve as obstacles. However, the show’s gothic strangeness does add a slight layer of subversion against mainstream “woke” expectations, keeping things a tad less monotone ideologically.
