What We Think

Betty positions itself as a showcase for modern identity politics, focusing on representation at the expense of traditional storytelling. It's a prime example of the current 'woke' wave dominating media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show puts heavy emphasis on identity and representation, often highlighting the characters' race, gender, and sexuality ahead of deeper personality or skill-based development. In our view, the narrative sometimes seems sidetracked by these themes rather than organically incorporating them.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and cultural foundations are frequently subverted or dismissed, as the series centers on a group of female skateboarders breaking into what’s portrayed as a male domain. Masculinity is usually sidelined or gently mocked, with little sympathetic exploration of traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear lack of meaningful perspectives outside the show's modern ideological frame. Traditional worldviews are underrepresented, and dissent is not seriously explored, so viewers see a fairly one-dimensional cultural debate.
