What We Think

Ben and Kate is a harmless, good-natured sitcom that mostly avoids the trappings of modern woke storytelling. The focus remains on humor and genuine character moments rather than delivering heavy-handed sermons on identity or ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ben and Kate sticks to character-driven humor and personal growth, without noticeably shoehorning in identity politics or forced diversity. Casting and storylines feel organic, focused more on comedic situations than on ideology-laden narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays family bonds and sibling relationships in a positive, if slightly unconventional, light. It doesn't really pathologize traditional roles or values, instead, it playfully examines how imperfect people look after each other.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Ben and Kate features some modern attitudes but mostly sidesteps preachy messaging or villainizing traditional views. There's a real diversity of characters and quirks, not just surface-level box-checking.
