What We Think

Antares is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It focuses more on character development and local cultural texture than box-ticking. For those tired of ideological lectures, this is a pretty safe pick.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Antares" sticks to familiar teen drama conventions primarily focused on friendship, family, and romance. While it includes diverse characters, their personal attributes aren’t forced into the narrative for ideological reasons. The drama serves the plot and character arcs rather than modern talking points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t go out of its way to undermine themes like family, tradition, or masculinity. In fact, it shows complex relationships and respect for cultural norms, with no heavy-handed attempts at subverting gender roles or rewriting tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is some modern teen drama sensibility, but “Antares” largely avoids caricaturing traditional perspectives or forcing all characters into a single worldview. Conflicts and character growth remain grounded in believable, relatable issues.
