What We Think

'Better Late Than Never' is refreshingly non-woke. It offers harmless fun with seasoned stars, upholding traditional values and avoiding the modern 'message-first' pitfalls. Great for viewers tired of the identity-driven trend.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Better Late Than Never' relies on the charm of its older, well-known male cast traveling abroad, with little evidence of forced casting or identity-focused storytelling. The emphasis is squarely on humor and genuine chemistry, not on checking diversity boxes or pushing ideological narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show highlights traditional masculine camaraderie, respect for aging, and positive references to family and cultural curiosity. There's no sign that it undermines religion, masculinity, or traditional values, if anything, it revels in them, albeit with lighthearted teasing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This show doesn't appear interested in caricaturing dissent or demonizing traditional worldviews. The jokes are old-school but good-hearted, and it's all about cross-cultural encounters, not preaching one worldview over another.
