What We Think

"Alexa & Katie" is relatively tame in comparison to the latest Hollywood output, but still checks off enough woke boxes to draw an eye roll here and there. It's not over-the-top, but let's just say it wouldn't be mistaken for a non-woke after-school special either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "Alexa & Katie" focuses on friendship and overcoming adversity, there are traces of forced representation with diverse supporting characters often outshining more nuanced development. The core narrative is mostly strong, but certain identity-based storylines feel tacked on to check boxes rather than serve the plot organically.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show generally avoids attacking traditional family, but does subtly subvert gender roles, often portraying dads as goofy or absent-minded while moms hold everything together. The overall tone is light, but the patterns are a bit too familiar for non-woke tastes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, but traditional viewpoints are often played for laughs or presented in a flattened way. The show's world leans toward modern morality consensus, with little real debate or pluralism about issues like family or identity.
