What We Think

'American Woman' offers a glossy, hyper-modern lens on 1970s feminism, cranking up the ‘woke’ factor by focusing on emancipation themes, lampooning tradition, and giving little space to non-progressive voices. Expect more sermonizing than subtlety.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show foregrounds women's liberation themes and features characters defined primarily by gender and independence, sometimes at the expense of portraying more nuanced or balanced personal struggles. It often feels like the message takes precedence over organic storytelling or well-rounded male roles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family structures, masculinity, and old-school values are depicted as outdated or outright barriers to female progress. The show goes out of its way to flip the script on 1970s-era norms, sometimes veering into parody or oversimplification of traditional culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting perspectives are largely lampooned or presented as closed-minded obstacles for the lead characters to overcome. There is little internal debate or sincere exploration of traditional viewpoints, progressive ideals make up most of the series’ worldview.
